With constantly-changing weather in the area, I&M Power is emphasizing the importance of being prepared.
They say they are maintaining and upgrading the electrical system, though outages due to severe conditions remain possible.
So, they say to plan and prepare for if severe weather strikes. Build an emergency kit with flashlights, a first aid kit, chargers, batteries, water and non-perishable foods.
They say to never operate heaters without proper ventilation.
If you see a power line down, avoid it, and report it to local emergency management crews. They also encourage customers to download the I&M app to stay updated on outages.

I % M needs to look in the mirror. A certain percentage of outages are because the power company is not taking care of needed maintenance business. But charge rate payers through the backside every day.
