Hydro One provides up-to-date power interruption information on its website and through the Hydro One mobile app.
The article advises residents to keep a safe distance from downed power lines or equipment and never assume they are safe to approach; to treat intersections with traffic lights out as all-way stops; to turn off appliances and charge phones, laptops and tablets before the outage; to keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed; and to keep generators outside and far from windows or vents. People who depend on home medical devices that need electricity, such as power wheelchairs, oxygen concentrators, feeding equipment, lifts and nebulizers, should have contingency plans in place.
