We respond to storm damage emergencies 24 hours a day in San Bernardino County.

Our local Chino/Chino Hills team restores storm damage throughout the year in Chino Hills. Experiencing a power outage can be inconvenient and sometimes uncomfortable, but there are several things you can do to stay safe and make the best of the situation:

Safety First: Turn off or unplug appliances and electronics to prevent damage from power surges when the electricity is restored. Leave one light on so you'll know when the power is back.

Stay Informed: Use a battery-powered or hand-crank radio to stay updated on emergency information and news.

Light Source: Use flashlights, battery-operated lanterns, or LED candles for lighting to avoid fire hazards. Avoid using candles with open flames.

Conserve Phone Battery: Preserve your smartphone's battery by minimizing usage and using it only for essential communications.

Keep Warm: Dress in layers and use blankets to stay warm, especially during winter outages.

Food and Cooking: Consume perishable foods first to prevent spoilage. Use a propane or charcoal grill outdoors for cooking if safe and necessary.

Entertainment: Pass the time with board games, puzzles, books, or other non-electronic forms of entertainment. This is an opportunity for quality family time.

Water: Ensure you have a supply of clean drinking water. If you rely on a well pump, consider storing water in advance.

Check on Neighbors: Look out for neighbors, especially those who may need assistance, such as the elderly or individuals with medical conditions.
