RICHMOND, Va., Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dominion Virginia Power is prepared to respond to a winter storm expected to move through much of Virginia tonight through tomorrow evening. Company trucks are being stocked and fueled, and crews made ready to respond to outages.
Dominion anticipates moderate to heavy snowfall moving easterly across the central and southern regions of the state from the storm, which could knock trees and limbs into power lines and create outages. The exact timing and strength of the storm may vary but it is not expected to match the blizzard of mid-December 2009.
Dominion reminds its customers to stay away from downed power lines. Customers should call toll free 1-888-667-3000 to report outages or downed lines. The company's outage reporting system consists of call-center representatives and an automated voice response unit. The automated voice response unit can handle up to 100,000 calls an hour and is the quickest way to report an outage or downed power lines.
Dominion urges its customers to pay attention to weather reports. Customers are advised to be prepared for very cold temperatures and to have a plan in place in the event of a power outage.
In the event of severe weather, take these common-sense steps to help prepare for possible outages:
Before the storm:
