You may see crews responding to isolated outages caused by salt contamination. When salt mixes with moisture, it can create electrical arcing on power lines and equipment β€” sometimes leading to pole fires or flickering.

Strong storms with freezing rain & ice can cause trees, branches or other objects to fall on power lines resulting in outages. It’s important to have a 72-hour emergency kit handy just in case. Here is what you might need: alectrautilities.com/72-hour-emergency-kit
