DES urges residents to use caution today
Chester
County Department of Emergency Services Urges Residents to use Caution Today
Powerful
Storms last evening caused many trees and power lines to come down
West
Chester, PA – Officials from the Chester County Department of Emergency
Services want residents to use caution when traveling today. Many roads are closed due to trees and power
wires being down and blocking the roads.
Currently there are 150 roads closed throughout Chester County and more
than 57,000 people without power.
Officials urge people to stay away from down or arching wires.
PECO
is reporting 56,528 residents and business are without power; PPL are reporting
136 customers without power. MetEd is
reporting that no customers without power.
Residents are urged to call their utility company to report power
outages and NOT to call 9-1-1; PECO
1-800-841-4141, PPL 1-800-342-5775, MetED 1-888-544-4877
Also,
residents should be aware that Verizon is currently experiencing a service
outage in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. Calls made from Verizon cell phones to a
landline are receiving a busy signal, this includes calls to 9-1-1. Calls made from Verizon cell phones will only
work when dialing another Verizon cell phone customer.
In
an Emergency, if a Chester County Verizon customer cannot reach 9-1-1 by
calling, Text-to-9-1-1 is working.
Officials urge to try calling 9-1-1 first, if unable to reach, then use
the Text feature.
Residents
are reminded that if they have damage to their property they should contact
their municipality to report the damage.
Officials also remind residents when using generators, to keep them at
least 15 feet away from any structure and use with adequate ventilation around
the unit.
Due
to power outages, Chester County Government Offices at 313 W. Market Street and
the Justice Center, in West Chester, are closed today. The Chester County Government Services Center
on Westtown Road, West Chester, is opening at 10:30am.
