COUNTY News: Big winter storms are known to result in power outages. While the Los Alamos County Department of Public Utilities (DPU) is working hard to keep everyone’s power on, anyone who does lose power should make sure to be careful when using alternative heat sources and practice portable generator safety. Once everyone in the household is safe, check in with others in the neighborhood to make sure they are okay. Visit weather.gov/safety/winter. Courtesy/LAC
