Westar Energy may have to shut off power to customers affected by potential flooding.
Power can be disconnected if requested by emergency management, code services or the fire department.
Westar employees are also authorized to shut off power if they determine that safety of homeowners, first responders or other employees is at risk.
Power can also be shut off if requested by Westar customers.
Westar says mass power shut-offs will be avoided unless absolutely necessary.
The best way to report an emergency situation such as downed power lines or unsafe electrical conditions is to call 9-1-1.
