If a power outage occurs during normal working hours, contact Fort Lewis College Physical Plant Services at 247-7000. There are professional electricians employed by the college who can immediately address the problem. A major power outage may not in itself be destructive, but can be very disruptive to the educational process.


In case of a power outage after normal working hours:

• Notify the Fort Lewis College Police Dept at 247-7123 as soon as possible. Please provide the officer with the nature and location of the outage.
