How outages effect people

We have had too many outages in our neighborhood for No good reason. We all are wondering if it will happen again today and for how long. The first one lasted for days. I lost all my food in my refrigerator and my outdoor freezer. Thought about filling a claim so I took pictures and added it up to over $570 thrown away. I also had to replace the water lines to my refrigerator. Repairman said they cracked and when power was turned back. Lucky no water damage to house since I was home when power came back on and I noticed the water coming out of my refrigerator. Kids in the neighborhood ask if they are taking a flash light bath again. People can’t work from home because the power outage is a regular occurrence. Cars are stuck in garages and can’t get to where you are supposed to be. Houses dark and becomes a safety issue for elderly and people on oxygen or other electrical health equipment. These outages average over a few hours. Our security systems don’t record and safety issue put at risk. The last outage was from 2 am until after 9 am

This is unacceptable and I know I am not the only one worried about wintertime. I have come home countless times this summer to a house over 90 degrees. Takes a long time to cool it down to go to sleep. What happens in the winter? They should pay for the generators going in the neighborhood since they are terrible at doing their job and keeping power in our homes. I have lived here over 30 years. This is terrible service. We ask ourselves wonder if we will have power today.
