Wind and Power Outages

Avoid downed power lines, sagging trees, and broken limbs. If you come across a downed power line or tree over the roadway, turn around and dial 9-1-1.

Contact Public Works to report minor flooding at 425-488-0118; Option 1. Crews will respond when it is safe to do so. Never walk, ride, or roll past road closure signs or barricades. Dial 9-1-1 to report major flooding.

In the event of a power outage, never use grills, barbecues, propane heaters, or gas range stovetops and ovens to heat your home. This can result in carbon monoxide poisoning which can be deadly.

Operate generators outside, a safe distance away from your home to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Never run a generator in your garage.

Report power outages by contacting your local utility provider - Snohomish County PUD or Puget Sound Energy. Check your local outage maps (King County)(Snohomish County) for outage updates and information. 

Opt for flashlights rather than candles to prevent house fires.

• Check on your neighbors to see what they need help with. 
• If your power is out, find updates and estimated restoration times from your local utility provider.

  • Never use grills or generators indoors - they produce deadly carbon monoxide (CO). Operate generators outdoors, away from windows and doors, to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
  • Opt for flashlights rather than candles to prevent house fires.
• Learn about food safety during and after a power outage.
• If you're driving, use caution, observe road closures, and treat intersections without working traffic lights as 4-way or all-direction stops.
• Help street sweepers efficiently clean up debris from the roads by putting branches and debris from your property in your compost bin, not on the street.
