Our local North Eugene and Northwest Lane County teams respond to wind damage emergencies every year in Franklin. When a windstorm knocks out the power it can be unsettling, but there are things that you can do to stay safe and comfortable:

• Monitor local weather reports and updates from your utility provider to stay informed about the status of the power outage and any restoration efforts underway.

• Preserve the battery life of essential devices such as cell phones, flashlights, and radios.
• Avoid going outside during the windstorm, as flying debris and falling trees can pose serious risks to personal safety.
• Instead of candles, use flashlights, lanterns, or battery-powered candles for emergency lighting.
• Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible to maintain cold temperatures and preserve perishable food.
• Ensure you have adequate potable water on hand to stay hydrated during the outage.
