Power Outage/Water Leak

NOTIFY: EHS Emergency Phone

To report a power outage and/or water leak:

  • Provide location of the incident.

  • Report any noises or incidents that may have occurred before the incident.

  • If safe, move all personal items to avoid getting wet.

Be prepared:

  • Never leave important items (electronics, papers, expensive items) on the floor.

  • Have a flashlight or the flashlight feature on your phone available.

  • Know where the nearest exit is located.

  • If a leak threatens your work area, move items off the floor.

  • Do not open your refrigerator. Food can remain cold for several hours without power. Opening the refrigerator will reduce that time.

  • Never touch fallen electrical lines or exposed electrical wiring.

  • If a hazard exists, evacuation may be the next step.

  • Listen to staff for further instructions.
