If you rely on electronic life support equipment, planning ahead for power outages is critical. Enroll in our Life Support Program to get started.

 

A loss of power can be frustrating and inconvenient for any customer, but for those who rely on electronically operated life support equipment, it can potentially be life-threatening. While it's not possible to give any customer priority power restoration, enrolling in our Life Support Program helps ensure you get as much notice as possible in advance of a scheduled outage so you can plan accordingly.

 

To enroll in this free service, you and your physician must complete and return a Life Support Form.

 

Once enrolled, your account will be added to our Life Support registry. We will remind you when it is time to renew your enrollment.

 

When you are enrolled in our Life Support Program, we attempt to notify you before scheduled outages, which are occasionally necessary to perform maintenance on our electric systems or to accommodate local construction work or other projects.

 

To help alert field personnel that someone in your home uses life support equipment, we place a special tag on your electric meter.

Your life support equipment is a critical concern when forming your emergency power outage plan, but other needs should be considered as well. Refresh yourself on other important factors to form a thorough safety plan.
