Vermont Business Magazine Green Mountain Power is preparing for a strong wind and rainstorm that is forecasted to hit Tuesday afternoon and could cause outages across the state. The storm could blow trees onto power lines and also snap power poles at the base. As we head into July, which is the worst month for storms and storm related damage causing outages, safety is critical. GMP reminds customers to be safe by staying away from any downed power lines and by being extra careful on the roads.
“Our crews are preparing now and are ready to respond quickly to any outages from this strong wind storm,” said Kristin Carlson, GMP’s Chief Communications Executive. “Early preparation is key to making sure we can get the lights on quickly and safely for customers.”
Green Mountain Power will provide updates on Facebook, Twitter and to the media. Customers may report outages and get updates through GMP’s text service or award winning app, as well as calling 1-888-835-4672, or visiting GMP’s Outage Center page at www.greenmountainpower.com.
