We respond to storm damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Tillamook County.

Tillamook residents are no strangers to inclement weather. Severe storms often blow in from the Pacific Ocean with little advanced warning. Our local team in Yamhill and Tillamook Counties responds to storm damage emergencies every year. Here are some tips from the American Red Cross on things you can do to prepare for a power outage:

Create a support network. Identify people who can help you stay home or evacuate during an extended power outage. Keep a paper copy of your contact list.

Stay connected and alert. Sign up for alert systems and apps for text alerts. Have communication devices that work without home power, including a crank or battery radio, a non-cordless home phone, and chargers/batteries for your cell phones and your computers.

Stock food and water. Store non-perishable food and water supplies for at least two weeks. Plan to use coolers and ice to extend food refrigeration and keep a thermometer in the fridge, freezer, or cooler to monitor the food temperature.

Know and plan for your personal and medical electrical needs. Take an inventory of your electrical needs. Consider backup and non-power alternatives for lighting, communication, medical devices, refrigerated medicine, cooking, garage doors, locks, and elevators. Discuss a plan with your doctors for your medical needs.
