City Light Lineworkers Urge Public to be Prepared for Storms

Reddy Landon, Wes Peterson and Manny Cervantez are ready for storm season. Are you?

Reddy Landon, Wes Peterson and Manny Cervantez are ready for storm season. Are you?

As part of Seattle City Light’s support for the Take Winter By Storm awareness campaign, three lineworkers — Wes Peterson, Manny Cervantez and Reddy Landon — helped create a video urging residents to prepare for storm season and the power outages that go with it.

Watch the video at http://www.seattlechannel.org/videos/video.asp?ID=4420

Storms can knock out power for extended periods. Residents should plan for such outages, assemble an emergency preparedness kit and get involved with your community and emergency response training.

Report outages at (206) 684-3000.

Always stay away from downed power lines. Never use a barbecue grill or portable generator indoors because they will generate deadly carbon monoxide.
