Emergency Numbers- Power Outage, Flooded Basement

In anticipation of the upcoming possibility for damaging winds and flooding rains, if you experience a power outage. Do NOT call 9-1-1. You can call West Penn Power to report the outage at 1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877).
To report a floode
d basement, again do NOT call 9-1-1. Call our NON-Emergency line at (814) 772-0000 or if you live in Cameron County (814) 486-0952.
Keep in mind that this will be a widespread event lasting tonight into tomorrow. Utility companies will most likely be back logged with calls and your local fire department may have a long list of basements to pump, in the event we receive the forecasted weather. Rest assured once you made your request with the utility company or local fire department your issue will be handled in the order it was received with Emergency Situations taking priority. Repeated calls to 9-1-1 and NON-Emergency lines will only tie up the system for citizens trying to report real emergencies.

Please share this status with your friends so they know how to report a power outage or a flooded basement!
