The Town is currently experiencing a widespread power outage. Town officials are in contact with ERTH Power while hydro crews work to determine the cause.

Please follow these immediate guidelines to stay safe:

For Residents:
• Keep fridge and freezer doors closed to preserve food and refrigerated medications. An unopened fridge keeps food cold for about 4 hours.
• Unplug major appliances and electronics to protect them from power surges when electricity returns.
• Never use charcoal grills or camp stoves indoors for heating or cooking due to carbon monoxide risks.
• Check on vulnerable neighbours, especially the elderly or those relying on medical equipment.

For Businesses:
• Activate backup generators safely if you have them. Ensure they are operated outside and away from windows.
• Secure your premises if you choose to close early.
• Disconnect sensitive IT equipment and servers to prevent data loss or damage from surges.

Traffic & Emergencies:
• Treat all dark traffic signals as four-way stops. Drive with extreme caution.
• Call emergency services ONLY for life-threatening emergencies. Please do not call emergency lines to report the outage or ask for updates.

We will provide updates as soon as they become available. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
