Dayton Power and Light Encourages Customers to Plan Ahead During Severe Weather Awareness Week

DAYTON, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Dayton Power and Light Company (DP&L), a subsidiary of The AES
Corporation (NYSE:AES), is encouraging customers to plan in advance for
severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, during Severe Weather Awareness
Week, March 19 – 24.

As part of Severe Weather Awareness Week, the state of Ohio will

What can DP&L customers do during Severe Weather Awareness Week?

Build a Storm Kit

Make sure you gather enough essentials for at least 72 hours and include
items such as necessary medicines, water, nonperishable food,
flashlight, first aid items, spare clothing, phone chargers,
battery-operated radio and extra batteries. Be sure each member of the
household or work location knows where the emergency
storm kit is located.

Make an Emergency Plan

Do you know what you would do if you lost power for an extended period
of time? Have a plan to move yourself and your family – especially those
with special medical needs – to an alternate location. Each person in
your household should know where to meet, how to contact each other and
what to do in different scenarios.

Keep informed
