If you lose power, please follow these steps:

   c) Go to lipower.org on the web

 2. Contact your village office to let them know of the power outage.

   a) Try to use email if you can.  This is the preferred method.  Email addresses below.

   d) Please note that while calling LIPA is the primary way to report a power loss, you may also report the power loss to the village, so it is informed and so that PWM OEM can attempt to assist in restoration coordination with LIPA, if necessary.

3) Please…

   a) Do not call the police to report power outages!

   b) Do not cross flooded areas—especially if they are roped-off.

   c) Keep any drains on your property clear.

   d) Secure outdoor objects and remove any Halloween decorations that would be dangerous.

   e) Note that trains, buses, and railroads may be suspended at the heights of the storm. Plan ahead.

While we hope that the storm turns its track away from us and that we get lesser effects, we must plan for the risks regardless.
