While an eruption is not certain, preparations are underway. In talks with health experts, aviation professionals, auto garages and emergency management officials, the name of the game has been education and early preparation by forming emergency plans for individual households and at the wider local level.Friday afternoon Chugach Electric posted to Facebook notifying their customers they are aware of the possible eruption. Briefing their customers on the possible results to electricity in the area, they wrote in-part; “We don’t expect imminent power outages in the event of an eruption, but volcanic ash can impact the electrical system. So nothing is certain.”Much like the potential of an eruption from Spurr, Julie Hasquet, Communications Manager at Chugach added that they’re paying attention, but are not able to promise an outcome either way. “They’re predicting 1/4 inch of ash if there is an eruption, that shouldn’t cause a system disturbance. That hasn’t traditionally been a problem in the past,” Hasquet said. “But until it actually erupts and we see volume, duration, wind direction, we don’t want to make any promises.”See a spelling or grammar error?
