Storm Prep

We were in the studio with Casey Hollins, Director of Communications and Public Relations for Rappahannock Electric Cooperative talking winter storm prep.

Casey gave us several tips to make sure we’re prepared for a power outage in the event of a winter storm. Her main tip was to have everything you need in one easy-to-access place so you don’t have to scramble around. It doesn’t really matter what you put your storm prep kit in, just make sure you’ve got all of these items in one location that you can easily access.

We were in the studio with John Arp, Operations Manager of the Western Region for REC to continue our conversation about Rappahannock Electric Cooperative’s commitment to reliability. Today we talked about year-round practices to prevent outages, a bit more about storm prep, and John answered a few questions like why power lines aren’t all underground and what causes power blips.
