CORE is prepared for significant snowfall and adverse weather forecast for Wednesday, March 13, through Friday, March 15, across their service area.
Line crews in their Sedalia, Bennett, Conifer and Woodland Park districts are on standby, with additional contractors ready to assist, if needed. They also have replacement equipment on hand, and fleet vehicles are fueled up and ready to roll into even the roughest terrain in their 5,000-square-mile service area.
CORE encourages members to prepare for spring storm
CORE encourages members to also prepare for the expected weather. Some key tips:
- Keep an easily accessible ‘outage kit’ that includes a battery-powered radio or TV, flashlights or headlamps, and fresh batteries. Add enough water, blankets and non-perishable food to supply the whole family.
- Turn faucets on slightly during an extended outage. The slow drip will help prevent water from freezing in the pipes.
- Have alternate plans for refrigerating medicines or using power-dependent medical devices.
- Keep refrigerators and freezers closed to preserve cold food.
- If using a generator, follow the manufacturer’s safety guidelines, such as operating it outdoors and away from windows and doors.
