PSE is currently reporting that the southern part of Medina is currently without power. According to the PSE Power Outage Map [ https://www.pse.com/outage/outage-map ], there is currently no estimated restoration time. Medina Police and Public Works are responding to fallen trees and downed power lines throughout our communities, and PSE has been notified of all issues so far.

Additionally, Medina City Hall is closed for the day (Monday, June 3rd) due to complete power failure. As always, Medina Police Officers are actively patrolling the Points Communities and are ready to respond to all calls for service.

To report hazardous roads, call 911 to notify a Medina Police Officer. Our officers are constantly coordinating with response crews to ensure the roads are clear and safety issues are addressed immediately. To report power outages or downed power lines, call Puget Sound Energy at 1-888-225-5773. You can also download the myPSE app or check the online outage map [ https://www.pse.com/outage/outage-map ] located on their website [ https://www.pse.com/ ].

_*Safety reminders:*_


* Never touch or go within 35 feet of downed power lines because they might be energized.
* Do not use a charcoal or gas grill to cook indoors. Never use a natural gas range for heating, or charcoal as an indoor heating source. This can cause a buildup of poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
* If you choose to use a portable home generator, read the manufacturer’s instructions for the safe operation of the generator. Do not operate generators indoors or in enclosed spaces to avoid the build up of carbon monoxide.
* If you’re using portable heaters, keep them away from furniture, draperies and other flammable materials.
* Always use flashlights instead of candles.

This is the time to have your emergency supplies ready in your home, vehicle and at work, including batteries, flashlights, food and blankets. We're confident that the storm is subsiding and the power will be restored soon, but the peace of mind and security that planning ahead brings is invaluable. Be sure to keep your cell phones and other important electronic devices fully charged as much as possible if you still have power. If you've already lost power, use your electronic devices sparingly to conserve the battery life for as long as possible. Remember, you can charge your device from your car if your device's battery runs dangerously low. However, never leave your vehicle running in your garage, unattended, or without sufficient gas or battery life in your vehicle.

Resources, information and ways to connect with others can be found on the Medina Police Department's Emergency Preparedness webpage [ https://www.medina-wa.gov/eps ] and by connecting with the Emergency Preparedness Committee on a regular basis.

Additional safety publications from the Medina Police Department will be posted periodically, including inclement weather preparations, hazardous road conditions, and crime prevention tips.

Check in with your neighbors, family and friends to make sure everyone's safe and healthy!
