This summer, make storm-preparedness your priority
Summer is associated with vacations, enjoying the great outdoors and taking a break from our usual routines. But it is also important to keep storm safety in mind to make sure your families are prepared for weather-related emergencies.
Storm preparedness is a year-round activity for Clarksdale Public Utilities. As our region braces for hurricane season that can bring challenges even to our area, we want to assure customers that we are prepared to respond safely and quickly. Outage prevention is also part of our strategy through efforts such as proactive tree trimming and line patrols.
Every day, we are taking steps to keep our customers’ power flowing safely, reliably and efficiently. But during severe weather events, service disruptions are often unavoidable. That is why we are encouraging customers to have an emergency plan in place to ensure their basic needs are met if utilities and other services are disrupted.
A great place to start your preparation checklist is the Coahoma County EMA website at http://www.coahomacounty.net/ema/, where you can find tips about preparing for severe weather and sign up for Code Red emergency notifications.
Helping customers prioritize storm preparedness and safety is part of our Bright Future initiative to continuously improve the services we provide for Clarksdale. At CPU, there is nothing more important than the safety and well-being of customers and employees.
Thank you for making safety your priority, and we hope you have a great summer!
