GP&L GREEN CHOICE PROGRAM

Garland Power & Light customers can go green by signing up for Green Choice, a power plan that provides 100% renewable energy from Texas wind and solar resources, which are sustainable and help keep our environment clean.

GP&L’s Green Choice only costs a penny more per kilowatt-hour than GP&L’s regular rate. Both rates are competitive as compared to plans in the Oncor delivery area (visit gpltexas.org/rates to learn more). A minimum 12-month commitment is required for Green Choice.

IT’S STORM SEASON BE WEATHER AWARE

More than half of all flood-related drownings occur when a vehicle is driven into hazardous flood water. Never drive around the barriers blocking a flooded road. The road may have collapsed under that water. A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult. It takes just 12 inches of rushing water to carry away most cars, and just 2 feet of rushing water can carry away SUVs and trucks. It is NEVER safe to drive or walk into flood waters. If you vehicle stalls, leave it immediately and seek higher ground.

Staying Safe During a Flood

z Stay informed. Listen to radio and television, including NOAA Weather Radio if possible. Check the internet and social media for information and register for the Garland Alert System (GarlandTX.gov/alerts) to receive alerts.

z Get to higher ground. If you live in a flood-prone area or are camping in a low-lying area, get to higher ground immediately.

z Obey evacuation orders. If told to evacuate, do so immediately. Lock your home when you leave. If you have time, disconnect utilities and appliances.

z Practice electrical safety. Don't go into any room if water covers the electrical outlets or if cords are submerged. Stay out of water that may have electricity in it.

z Avoid flood waters. If you are trapped by moving water, move to the highest possible point and call 911 if possible. Water may be deeper than it appears and can hide hazards such as sharp objects, washed out road surfaces, electrical wires or chemicals.
