Power outages can be caused by severe summer weather, such as flooding, extreme heat and thunderstorms.
Whether you’re without power for minutes, hours, or days – stay safe with the tips below!
• Keep your emergency preparedness kit stocked.
• Stay informed. Staying connected is vital to staying safe.
• Stay food safe. Keep refrigerator doors closed during outages to preserve food.
• Never use charcoal or gas barbeques, camping stoves, or generators indoors.
• Know when to go. If your home gets too cold or too hot and you are able to leave, head to an alternative location until it is safe to return.

REDUCE SPEED IN CONSTRUCTION ZONES: Designated construction zones are established to reduce speed limits as a preventive measure to protect the safety and well-being of workers and motorists. The Highway Traffic Act gives municipalities authority to designate construction zones on roads in their jurisdictions and provides the ability to double fines for speeding in designated construction zones when workers are present. This makes it easier for municipalities to reduce enforceable speed limits.
Once designated by an authorized individual, a construction zone must be marked with signs in accordance with the regulation.
Please slow down and observe posted speeds in designated zones. Stay safe! ... See MoreSee Less
