To view this email as a web page, click here. As Hurricane Sandy approaches, National Grid is urging customers to take all necessary precautions to ensure your safety. We have been preparing for Hurricane Sandy for several days and our employees are ready to respond to our customers' needs. We remind you to be prepared and follow safety precautions.  Please check to make sure you have bottled water, working flashlights, a battery operated radio and extra batteries in your home. If you plan to use a generator to supply power during an outage, be sure to only operate it outdoors. To prevent a safety issue, before operating generators, be sure to turn off the main breaker located in the electric service panel.  If you see a downed power line, do not go near it or drive over it, always assume it's live.
