If you see a downed power line, do not approach it and never try to remove it or touch it. The line may be energized. Call us at 1-800-611-1911 or 911 immediately.
Wet yards with puddles on cement or grass can carry electricity. If a line is down in your yard, remain indoors and call 911 immediately.
Never try to remove a broken tree limb or branch that has come in contact with a power line.
Make sure you have battery-operated radio and flashlights. Check the batteries to make sure they’re fresh. Use flashlights for lighting during a power outage. Do not use candles because they pose a fire hazard.
If you use a generator, place it outdoors and plug individual appliances directly into it, using heavy-duty extension cords. Connecting generators directly to household circuits creates “backfeed,” which is dangerous to repair crews.
When power is out, traffic signals may be out so approach those intersections as four-way stops.
