“It’s important not to lose sight of the fact that we are in the midst of the 2022 Atlantic Hurricane season, which is still predicted to be a very active one,” reminded Mr. Blackman. “We encourage all residents to maintain a state of readiness - to have sufficient water and non-perishable food on hand, as well as medicines, a first aid kit and other supplies in the event of a hurricane or other damaging weather event. Stay tuned to local media and Light & Power’s social media pages throughout the season for weather updates, and important safety and storm preparedness and response information.”
