Winter weather has kept people busy in Mon County this weekend.
The Mon County Dispatch received more than 5,000 calls.
They had 86 wires down in the street and 101 trees down.
As of Monday afternoon, there are still more than 5,000 power outages and around 1,500 people without any water.
The Office of Emergency Management wants residents to know their office, Firefighters and the National Guard will go around to the hardest hit areas to provide food, water, and medical services for those who can't get out.
"We're still having a lot of trees come down. If you have telephone service and you're able to contact us, call our office. We'll try to help you as much as we can. Be vigilant that we're going to have some people in the area going door to door. Let them know what you need and we'll try to get it to you," said Mike Wolfe, Deputy Director of Mon County Office of Emergency Management.
If you need help, call them at (304) 598-0301.
