During the storm GEBE will do its best to maintain electricity and water supply. However, GEBE will be forced turn off electricity and water when it is no longer safe to operate the machinery or electrify the power lines.

Stay inside.

Listen for updates.

Report any downed lines in your area.

Do not run your generator during the storm.

When the electricity goes off:

• Unplug any sensitive electronics to avoid damage.
• Turn off all lights and electrical equipment. Leave on only one light or radio to alert you when the power has been restored.
• Try to minimize the time your fridge and freezer are open to keep the cool air in.
• Be careful if you decide to use candles. Do not leave them unattended.

When the water goes off:

• Turn off your water meter, in the event that a water pipe is damaged during the storm.
• Ensure you turn off all taps and pipes to avoid leaks once water is restored.
• Use hand sanitizer or hand wipes to clean your hands when no running water is available.
• Don’t forget to refresh drinking water for your pets.
