Tips for after the snow storm

- Don't try to remove tree branches from a power line. Treat fallen wires as if they are energized.
- If your home has a heat pump, clear the ice and snow away from the unit so air can circulate properly.
- If the power goes out and you use a portable generator, always keep it outside - away from doors and windows - to prevent carbon monoxide fumes from coming inside.
