Please see the message below from Delmarva Power:

Please see the message below from Delmarva Power: Dear Community, Emergency Management & Government Partners, As summer approaches, Delmarva Power is prepared to deliver safe, reliable, and affordable energy across the communities we serve. This year, our efforts focus on three key priorities: customer affordability, ongoing reliability improvements, and summer preparedness. These initiatives help ensure customers have access to assistance programs, benefit from a stronger and more resilient grid, and know how to prepare for potential outages. Customer Affordability We continue to expand programs that support customers facing financial challenges or seeking more predictable billing options. Customer Assistance: Connects customers to financial assistance, payment arrangements, and energy‑saving programs. Customers can see if they qualify for local, state and federal energy assistance programs through the Assistance Finder tool by visiting: delmarva.com/AssistanceFinder Flexible Billing Options: Including Budget Billing & Paperless eBill.

These investments provide tangible improvements in reliability and reliance for our customers. These targeted upgrades include: Priority feeder improvements Vegetation management Replacement of aging infrastructure Advanced grid technologies designed to speed power restoration More information about our specific reliability projects is available at: delmarva.com/Reliability Summer Preparedness Tips We conduct annual emergency response drills and collaborate closely with our Exelon sister companies and emergency management partners to ensure rapid, coordinated storm response. Here are important summer preparedness reminders: For customers who rely on electricity to power life-support equipment in their homes, such as respirators or kidney dialysis machines, enroll in the Emergency Medical Equipment Notification Program. This program provides advance notice of scheduled outages and severe weather alerts to qualified participants who depend on electricity for emergency medical and life-support equipment.

Hawaii Voters Can Track Ballot Status with Free State Service

Pearl City – Hawaii voters can stay informed this election season by signing up for the state’s free ballot tracking service. The service sends voters updates on the status of their mail ballot and provides deadline reminders throughout the year. More than 100,000 Hawaii voters are already enrolled in the service, with voters ages 66+ being the highest users. Officials have heard positive feedback from kupuna voters since the launch in 2022 and want to see the number of users grow. Chief Election Officer Scott Nago explained, “The simple ballot tracking tool can help address several concerns shared by both voters and election administrators. It provides transparency and peace of mind for voters to know where their ballot is, and helps reduce the number of voters who miss deadlines.” He added regarding the tools alert function, “We’re hopeful that the election alerts will also help alleviate long lines at voter service centers by encouraging residents to vote before Election Day.” Visit elections.hawaii.gov and click “Sign Up for Ballot Notifications.” Voters who previously enrolled do not need to re-register. Ballots must be received by the County Elections Division by close of voting, 7:00 p.m. Paper Voter Registration Applications must be submitted to your County Elections Division by: Voters may register online at any time or in-person at a voter service center.

Haven Farm Thrives at Pearl City High School with Community Volunteers

By Barry Villamil | MyPearlCity.com Mary and I got up bright and early this morning and headed over to the Haven Farm at Pearl City High School to visit with Brian Walker who manages the Haven Farm and is also a part-time teacher at PCHS. We were greeted by Haven Farm community volunteers who were hard at work clearing out cane grass and weeds. Brian came up an gave us an update of the crops growing at the Haven Farm and the compost mound that is rising under the sun from PCHS green and food waste. The Haven Farm is thriving with a variety of plants and vegetables: ti leaf, flowers, avocado trees, papaya trees, okra, tomatoes, broccoli, peppers, egg plant, zucchini, and red cabbage all being blessed by beautiful white butterflies that floated and danced in and out of the garden, It was really nice to meet Brian’s wife Amy who was at hard work tending to the plants in the Haven Farm greenhouse. It was an inspiring visit to the Haven Farm on Saturday and looking forward towards seeing future crops of corn and pumpkins sprout, grow, and shared upon its Harvest.
