Crews continue to work on restoring power to the east end of Lewis County. Efforts have been slowed by many impassable roadways heavy with snow, as well as, many downed lines. Lewis PUD has mutual aid coming from Cowlitz PUD to assist in the restoration process.
If you’re without power, we encourage you to stay safe:
- Do not use a charcoal or gas grill to cook indoors. Never use a natural gas range for heating, or charcoal as an indoor heating source. This can cause a buildup of poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
- If you choose to use a portable home generator, read the manufacturer’s instructions for the safe operation of the generator. Do not operate generators indoors or in enclosed spaces to avoid the build-up of carbon monoxide.
- If you’re using portable heaters, keep them away from furniture, draperies, and other flammable materials.
