Here are key safety reminders:
- Downed Power Lines: Always assume downed power lines are live and extremely dangerous. Never touch or attempt to move them. Report downed lines to your local utility company immediately.
- Flooded Areas: Do not drive or walk through flooded areas. Floodwaters can be deeper and faster-moving than they appear, concealing hazards such as debris and downed power lines.
- Generator Safety: If using a generator, ensure it is positioned at least 20 feet away from your home and any open doors or windows to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Always operate generators outdoors in well-ventilated areas.
