Sharing this message so that our clients and community can stay safe during these weather conditions.

TCIL hopes all our clients and community stay safe and dry during this holiday season. Stay away from flood waters and down power lines. If you're in need of back up batteries for medical equipment please contact us.

The National Weather Service is advising the community of two periods of strong winds expected in Humboldt County the nights of Tuesday, December 23, and Wednesday, December 24.

Wind gusts could reach up to 50 mph in some areas. These conditions may lead to downed trees and power outages.

Now is a good time to review your power outage plan and prepare in case electricity is disrupted.

🔸Charge phones, backup batteries, flashlights and medical devices ahead of time.

🔸Have extra blankets, warm clothing, and a way to stay warm safely.

🔸Stock drinking water and easy to prepare food.

🔸Unplug sensitive electronics to prevent surge damage.

🔸Keep vehicles fueled in case travel or charging is needed.
