From Public Service of NH . . . 

Hurricane Sandy broke records and will be long remembered. High winds, heavy rain, and historic storm surges affected customers in every corner of our state and 8 million homes and businesses across much of the northeast.

We thank you, our customers for your patience and understanding; the Governor and his team, state and local officials for their leadership; police, fire, local public works crews, our own employees, Hydro Quebec utility crews, and extra line crews from around the country for their expertise and hard work.

The storm response produced some pretty impressive numbers:

*         137,000 customers restored

*         1,500 PSNH employees responded quickly and safely

*         Over 105,000 calls received at our call center

Resources secured to assist with restoration:

*         85 PSNH crews

*         75 Hydro Quebec crews

*         146 contractor crews

We believe that our advance planning, our commitment to safety, our enhanced tree trimming and maintenance programs, and our decision to enlist outside resources in advance of the storm made this a manageable event.

We thank you for your patience and understanding.  If you have any questions about your service, please call us at 800-662-7764.

WHITE BIRCH COMMUNITY CENTER

Eliminating the Risk of 

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning in Your Home

From J. William Degnan, State Fire Marshal 

N.H. State Fire Marshal's Office

At the request of State Fire Marshal J. William Degnan and The Carbon Monoxide Work Group, New Hampshire Governor John Lynch signed a proclamation to declare November as Carbon Monoxide Awareness month.  Marshal Degnan wants to remind residents about the dangers of carbon monoxide levels in your homes.  "Carbon monoxide (CO) is produced whenever any fuel such as gas, oil, kerosene, wood, or charcoal is burned. As the winter months come upon us, our use of fuel for heating increases thereby, increasing the potential for elevated levels of carbon monoxide", says Marshal Degnan.

Nationwide, hundreds of people die accidentally every year from CO poisoning caused by malfunctioning or improperly used fuel-burning furnaces or appliances. Fire departments have responded to over 700 New Hampshire households for CO concerns already this year. Infants, elderly people, unborn babies, and people with anemia or with a history of heart or respiratory disease can be especially susceptible.  Symptoms of CO poisoning may include headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and confusion. Do not ignore symptoms, particularly if more than one person is feeling them.  If you suspect CO poisoning, get outside to fresh air immediately, and then call 911.

Techniques to reduce the risk of CO poisoning in your home when using fuel-burning devices include:

• Have a trained professional inspect, clean, and tune-up central heating system (furnaces, flues, and chimneys) annually. Repair any leaks promptly.
• Install CO alarm(s) with battery backup outside of sleeping areas.
• Test your CO alarm(s) frequently and replace dead batteries.
• Do not use a gas oven to heat your home, even for a short time.
• Keep gas appliances properly adjusted.
• Do not use any gasoline-powered engines, such as portable generators, in enclosed spaces, including your garage and locate them at least 10 feet from your house with the exhaust facing away from the building.
• Do not idle your vehicle inside a garage.
• Do not sleep in any room with an unvented gas or kerosene space heater.
• Make certain that doors on all wood stoves fit tightly.
