This week is New York Public Health Week, so OEM reminds you to protect yourselves against health emergencies. One such emergency can occur during a utilities disruption.
A power outage can be more than just uncomfortable for certain New Yorkers. It can be life-threatening. If you, friends, or family rely on life-sustaining medical equipment, make sure you have a 12-hour backup battery and register with your power provider. Con Edison (800-752-6633) and LIPA/Keyspan (800-490-0025) must be alerted to your condition, so they can provide special service in the event you lose power. You can download applications online, or call to receive one by mail.
