WIth thunderstorm season approaching, it pays to undestand what to do in case of a power outage. This report, prepared by the good folks at SMECO is good to have on hand in times when the power goes down.

Through rain and wind and snow and ice, Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative strives to keep the power on for every home and business in our community. But we’ve had our share of hurricanes and ice storms, and sometimes, these weather conditions can cause our customers to lose power.

Although SMECO works as quickly as possible to get the lights back on, there are some steps you can take before, during, and after an outage. The key is being prepared. Be sure to plan for these fundamental needs.
