Prepare for winter weather:
A mixture of freezing rain, sleet and snow are expected this weekend (Saturday 1/24/26-Monday 1/26/26) and could linger for several days which may result in hazardous conditions and power outages in your community. In addition to road hazards and possible black ice, the combination of snow, sleet and freezing rain could result in falling limbs and trees and possible damage to power lines. If your power goes out, report it using the Dominion Energy app or online at DominionEnergy.com. You can also check for updates and view the outage map.
How to prepare:
*Keep your mobile phone and other devices fully charged.
*Download the Dominion Energy app for the easiest, most secure way to report and monitor the status of your outage or outages in your area.
*Create or restock emergency kits. The National Weather Service recommends creating a basic emergency kit before a storm hits, including water, flashlights, batteries, medicine and non-perishable foods to last several days.
Safety reminders:
*If you see downed power lines, please stay at least 30 feet away from them. Always assume they are energized and dangerous. Report them immediately by calling 1-866-366-4357.
*If your power goes out, keep freezers and refrigerators closed as long as possible to preserve the food inside.
*Avoid black ice on roads, driveways and walkways if possible. As winter precipitation can change quickly, crews are ready to respond and stay flexible, no matter the weather or its timing.
