Power Outage Safety

NEVER touch downed lines, go near them, or touch anything near them. Treat all downed lines with extreme caution, and always assume electric wires are energized.

Help us by keeping others away from the lines until our linemen arrive on the scene.

If a line falls onto your car…STAY IN THE CAR. If you have a cell phone, call 911 and we’ll get there as soon as we can. Your car’s tires can act as an insulator, keeping you from being electrocuted. Even one foot from your car to the energized ground can kill. If you must get out, keep your feet together, and jump clear without touching the ground and the vehicle at the same time. Shuffle, don't run away. If you are a witness, stay clear and call for help.
