UPDATE: Ongoing City of Ottawa Power Outage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
http://ottawa.ca/whats_new/power_outage_en.shtml
This morning, the City of Ottawa joined the Province of Ontario in declaring a state of emergency due to the ongoing power outage. As a result, the City recommended that residents not go to work today unless they are essential or emergency staff.
Update from Hydro Ottawa
As part of the process to return hydro service to full capacity, load shedding began to take place at 8 a.m. this morning.
As a result, all Ottawa customers can expect to experience rotating load shedding (intermittent blackouts) until power is fully restored. This means that for now, customers will receive about one hour of hydro service, followed by a 3-hour interruption.
It is extremely important that users conserve energy at all times by shutting off unnecessary appliances and air conditioners and to using power frugally.

Heat Alert
The general public is urged to stay cool where possible. Also avoid vigorous exercise, seek air-conditioned facilities where appropriate, and drink plenty of fluids. The City's wading pools are open, as are all City beaches.
The public is encouraged to check in on vulnerable friends and relatives regularly.
The frail and vulnerable can call the City's 24-hour Call Centre at 580-2400 to talk to a public health nurse or to get information on emergency shelters open and available to people at special risk.
Public Health nurses will assess situations and assist people in making appropriate arrangements.
Residents should call 9-1-1 in the case of a life-threatening emergency.
The City has opened 3 cooling stations to help residents - seniors in particular - beat the heat. These stations are also open to residents who need electricity to run medical equipment.
The cooling stations are located at the: Nepean Sportsplex (1701 Woodroffe Ave.), Orléans Recreation Complex (1490 Youville Drive), Federal Government Conference Centre (Wellington Street at Colonel By Drive).
The cooling stations are open until 8 p.m. tonight. Call 580-2400 for more information.
