Ergon Energy is urging customers who rely on advanced medical equipment to have a plan in place for unexpected power outages, especially with a severe storm season predicted.<\/p>\n

This includes ensuring their electricity retailer has up-to-date contact details and having a Plan B in place.<\/p>\n

Spokesperson Cloe Kernick said everyone should be prepared for the disruptions wild weather can cause but particularly anyone whose health was reliant on the electricity supply.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s ideal for anyone in need of powered health equipment to have a comprehensive plan in place enabling them to get through the period without electricity or enough time to seek medical assistance,” she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis should include calling their electricity retailer or Ergon on 13-74-66 to ensure their latest contact details are up to date. This way we have the right details should we need to contact them.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s also important these customers speak to their GP to put a plan in place should their home be without power for an extended period, such as knowing where their closest hospital or medical facility is or going to a friend or family member\u2019s house that still has power.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
