Because electrical outages are common during blizzards and ice storms, PTCI installed permanent backup generators in critical locations, along with portable generators for emergency power at secondary sites. In the event equipment is damaged, we keep materials on hand so our crews can quickly restore service where needed.
Here are some tips to help keep you connected during a winter storm.
• Have at least one simple, corded phone at home. Landline phone service is typically available during a power outage. Remember that a cordless telephone will not function without electricity.
• If a storm is approaching, keep your cellular phone and backup batteries charged. Be aware that cell phone towers typically run on commercial and battery power. When that power is interrupted or exhausted, cellular phone service can be disrupted.
• Have a car charger adapter for your cellular phone so you can recharge the phone’s battery from your car.
PTCI is committed to the communities we serve, and we are prepared to respond quickly and strategically to any outage so that our customers can stay connected with friends and family.
