What steps should I take if I have an energy emergency?

In the event of an energy emergency, it is important to stay calm and take the necessary steps to ensure your safety. First, assess the situation. If you notice a power outage or hear a hissing sound near gas lines or your meter, it may indicate a serious issue. If power lines are down or there is a gas leak, it is crucial to leave the area immediately and to avoid the hazard. Next, contact the appropriate emergency services, such as calling 911 for dangerous situations. Kansas City Power & Light Company has resources available for reporting outages or hazardous conditions, and checking their current web page can provide useful information on how to do this. If the emergency involves severe weather, you should follow local news and safety guidelines. Always prioritize personal safety and the safety of those around you during any emergency situation.
