Electical Power Outage

Power interruptions can occur for a variety of reasons and may last from minutes to days. However, if they last for a long period of time, follow these procedures.

STAY CALM

CALL Security Services by dialing 6666 internally or 204.786.6666 from an outside line.

  • Remain in place, or if you are in an unlit area, proceed cautiously to an area where there is emergency lighting.
  • Await further instructions from your supervisor or from Security Services.

BE PREPARED

  • To avoid a power surge once the electricity returns, turn off unnecessary electrical equipment.
