Atlas Oil Emergency Fuel Solutions Counsels Businesses on Emergency Power Planning

In the wake of winter weather and storms this week that resulted in mass power outages across the U.S., Atlas Oil's Emergency Fueling Solutions encourages business leaders and facility managers everywhere to re-evaluate their emergency power plan and resources. Atlas Oil Executive Vice President Bob Kenyon made the announcement.

“It's important to remember that all areas of the country, even those that don't typically experience severe weather, are susceptible to unexpected outages, as we saw this week with power loss everywhere from northern Virginia to Dallas to Omaha, even Arizona,” said Kenyon.

To help prevent unwanted and costly downtime from power outages, the Atlas Oil Emergency Fuel Team recommends developing an emergency preparedness plan that incorporates extensive backup power sources and supplies.

Step one is to select the right generator. Once installed, ensure it is properly maintained and tested. Then sign a contract with a fuel supplier who offers guaranteed delivery to ensure continual operations in the event that fuel is not easily accessible in a crisis situation. In addition, some businesses may need an Uninterruptable Power Source (UPS), which can prevent outages of even a few seconds while the generator powers up.
