Is your family prepared for an extended power outage or other emergency? At Tillsonburg Hydro, we recommend that all our customers have emergency kits on hand—just in case. Not sure where to start? Our friends at Toronto Hydro have prepared an excellent guide to building your own kit—even including a list of family games you can play while you wait for the lights to come back on.

It’s winter storm season and that means Tillsonburg Hydro customers may experience occasional hydro interruptions due to heavy snow, ice and other weather related events. While portable generators can help you keep the lights on, they can also be dangerous if not used properly.

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and contact a qualified electrician or electrical inspector if you have questions.
