- SAFETY DURING AN OUTAGE | Inland Power
SAFETY DURING A POWER OUTAGE At Inland Power & Light, we strive to maintain high quality, reliable energy. However, there are circumstances beyond our reasonable control, such as storms, flood and equipment failure, which can cause a power outage to occur. When interruptions of electrical service do occur, we will make every effort to restore your power as quickly as possible. WHAT TO DO Stay 50 feet away from downed power lines and broken utility poles. Do not attempt to remove trees or branches that may be in or near power lines! Check the fuses or breakers in your main electric panel. Notify Inland Power immediately! If a family member is on a life support system, have previous arrangement made for possible transport to a location where their needs can be met. ITEMS YOU MAY FIND USEFUL IN THE EVENT OF A POWER OUTAGE Cell Phone Flashlight with fresh batteries Blankets and warm clothing Portable radio with fresh batteries FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is a supplier outage? The electricity Inland Power distributes to members is purchased from Bonneville Power Administration and is provided through BPA and Avista transmission lines. Sometimes, situations arise that cause Inland Power to lose service from these suppliers. Although not a direct result of damage to Inland Power’s lines, these situations still cause outages. Inland Power works closely with its power suppliers to minimize these occurrences. What is a pole-top fire? Pole-top fires can occur when moisture in the air combines with dust and dirt built up on power lines or insulators (used to attach lines to wooden poles) and creates a path by which electricity can travel from lines to the wooden pole or cross arm they are attached to. This is known as “tracking.” When this happens, the pole or cross arm can heat up and catch fire. The fire damage or the resulting short circuit can cause an outage, as poles damaged by fire usually need to be replaced, or the line may need to be repaired.
