DON’T BLOW OFF HURRICANES

 Magic Valley Electric Cooperative, Inc. has implemented its Emergency Restoration Plan effective Tuesday, June 29^th.  Event reporting will be one of our top priorities, not only to the Public Utility Commission, but also to the Local Disaster Operation Centers and the local news media.  We will be providing daily restoration updates for the MVEC service area.  If you have any questions please feel to contact me.

 Any time a hurricane approaches the Texas coast, you’re likely to be reminded to take precautions. But the time for planning should begin well before hurricane season arrives.

 Follow these tips to prepare yourself and your home for hurricanes:

• Develop a plan for installing covers for windows.
• Remove weak and dead trees and tree limbs on your property.
• Know whether your home is in a zone that could be flooded.
• Have a “grab and run” bag ready with important papers (like your homeowner’s insurance policy) and prescription medicines in the event you have to evacuate.
• Have a plan in place for where you will go if you evacuate, the route you will take, and how others can contact you.
• Have a survival kit ready with nonperishable food, water, a first-aid kit and other things you may need.
• Keep a battery-powered radio handy. And don’t forget the extra batteries.
• Don’t hesitate to evacuate, especially if you are living in a manufactured home or a house that may not be sturdy enough to stand up to the wind.
• Do not touch or move downed utility lines. Even if the line looks “dead,” do not touch it and make sure others stay clear of the line. Call your electric co-op immediately.
• If you use a standby generator, make sure you have all required safety equipment properly installed.

Keep this information readily available in case of the threat of a hurricane.
