BERWYN, PA - As we wake up this morning there continues to be numerous roads that are closed throughout the T-E community due to downed trees and power lines. At 9:30 a.m. this morning its reported that 37% of Easttown Township and 25% of Tredyffrin Township remain out of power. PECO and other electric crews are working hard to get power restored. This is a widespread event so you can expect issues to linger for the next few days.

If you see caution tape, road barricades and/or flares blocking a roadway or area, DO NOT move or go past these items. Always keep yourself at least 10 feet from downed power lines. Even though you may notice a covering on a line, NEVER assume it is safe to touch. Stay Away, Stay Alive!

ARE YOU USING A PORTABLE GENERATOR TO POWER YOUR HOUSE?

• Generators should be operated in well ventilated locations outdoors away from all doors, windows and vent openings.
• Never use a generator in an attached garage, even with the door open.
• Place generators so that exhaust fumes can't enter the home through windows, doors or other openings in the building.
• Make sure to install carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in your home. Follow manufacturer's instructions for correct placement and mounting height.
• Turn off generators and let them cool down before refueling. Never refuel a generator while it is running.
• Store fuel for the generator in a container that is intended for the purpose and is correctly labeled as such. Store the containers outside of living areas.
