At BPU, we’re committed to serving the unique needs of our community. The Life Support Program helps
identify households where critical medical equipment—like oxygen concentrators, ventilators, or dialysis
machines—requires reliable electricity.
Why Life Support Status Matters
When approved, your account is flagged to alert our crews of your needs during service restoration efforts.
While this does not guarantee faster power restoration, it helps us prioritize resources when every moment
counts.

Ensuring peace of mind starts here:
- 1. Call our Life Support line at 913-573-9928 to request the enrollment forms.

Power outages, though rare, can happen. For your safety:
