Residents are advised to exercise caution when walking on areas covered with ice, as slips and falls can lead to serious injuries, according to local authorities.
Officials also warn of fire risks associated with power restoration. They recommend turning off appliances, ensuring no food is left on stoves or in ovens, and unplugging portable heat sources before power is restored, recalling a spike in fires in 1994 when power was returned to homes.
With cold temperatures persisting, residents are encouraged to take all necessary precautions to stay safe and prevent accidents during this period.
Authorities emphasize continued vigilance and safety measures as power is gradually restored across affected areas.
