Power problems can sometimes interrupt public water supply systems or disable well pumps, so it’s an especially good idea to keep a supply of bottled drinking water handy, as well as some canned food. If you see one, report it immediately to Rhode Island Energy, National Grid, Eversource or your local emergency response organization. Never touch downed power lines, and always assume that any fallen lines are live electricity wires.
