Gear up in case the power goes out
Power outages become more likely during fall and winter. Although Tacoma Power has a very reliable system, planning for an outage will create a quicker response.

Be prepared to respond quickly
Put together an outage kit before an outage that includes:

  • Flashlight(s)
  • Wind-up or battery-powered clock
  • Battery-powered radio
  • Extra batteries for flashlight, clock and radio
  • Food that you don’t have to heat
  • Manual can opener
