Officials share storm safety tips, shelter information

From the Derby Office of Emergency Management Facebook page:

Stay Safe

In the event of a downed wire, always remain at least 10 feet away, assume the wire is live, and call 9-1-1 and Eversource immediately.

If you use a generator, follow all safety precautions provided by the manufacturer.

Gas customers are reminded to keep natural gas meters, all gas appliances and outdoor vents clear of snow and ice buildup to maintain safe operation and access.

If customers smell a gas odor in their home or business, they should leave immediately. 

From a safe place, call Eversource to report the leak at our 24/7 emergency number, 877-944-5325, or call 9-1-1. They should remain outside until Eversource can check the source of the odor.
