Utility companies in Arkansas are gearing up for potential winter weather systems this week, with Ozarks Electric Cooperative preparing to keep the power on for residents. They have extra crews on call and a 24-hour dispatch center to respond to any power outages. Residents with power generators are encouraged to notify the utility company in advance.
In addition to power outages, road conditions are also a concern during winter weather. The Arkansas Department of Transportation is closely monitoring the situation and will have crews out to patrol the roads in case conditions deteriorate. Pre-treating roads is not planned at the moment due to uncertainty in the forecast.
Residents who rely on power-assisted medical devices are advised to have a backup plan in case of an outage. It is recommended to stay informed and prepared for any potential power outages or road conditions that may arise as a result of the upcoming storm system. Stay tuned to 5NEWS for the latest updates on the situation.
