Energy Education Council:
Information on downed power line and flooding safety after a storm – website www.safelectricity.org is an excellent resource:
1) Downed Power Line safety:
After a storm, limbs & debris may hide an electrical hazard. Treat all downed power lines as if they are energized. http://bit.ly/13SkmM7
Just because power lines are damaged does not mean they are dead. Stay far away, and keep others away from them. http://bit.ly/13SkmM7
Safe Electricity advises everyone to be mindful of the electrical hazards that storms and flooding can leave behind. http://bit.ly/13SkmM7
2) Flooding safety:
Never turn off power at the breaker box if you have to stand in water to do so. Get more info on flooding safety – http://bit.ly/gQYVuR
