We are aware that the majority of Churchill Borough is currently without power because of the severe wind gusts. Here is a message from DLC as what to do during a power outage:
In the event of an outage:
-Call 9-1-1 for any emergency medical issues.
-Report it on DLC’s free mobile app or on DuquesneLight.com. Those without internet access can call 888-393-7100.
-Avoid any downed power lines, give ample space to lineworkers and stay away from objects or puddles that are in contact with downed power lines.

-Use flashlights or battery-operated lanterns for emergency lighting. Avoid using candles or other potential fire hazards.
