With many parts of British Columbia receiving record breaking amounts of snow and extreme weather conditions this winter, it is important to review some proper power outage protocol and safety measures. Although most power outages only last a few hours, it is always important to be properly prepared for outages lasting longer.

If it does not appear as though BC Hydro is aware of the outage, they can be notified directly at 1 800 BCHYDRO.

During power outages, it is a good idea to keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed at all times in order to prolong their temperatures.
