safety first!
be sure to report any downed power lines and follow all safety precautions when using generators.
to protect yourself and your families, follow these recommendations from the centers for disease control and prevention:
- drink fluids, even if you don't feel thirsty.
- wear loose, lightweight clothing and a hat.
- replace salt lost from sweating by drinking fruit juice or sports drinks.
- avoid spending time outdoors during the hottest part of the day, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
- wear sunscreen: a sunburn affects the body's ability to cool itself.
- air conditioning is the best way to cool off; if you are using a generator, do so safely.

as with any weather event, please be mindful of the following safety tips:
- live wires can be deadly. stay away from downed power lines. call 1-800-9outage or 1-800-968-8243 to report downed or dangling power lines, damaged or downed poles or other damaged equipment.
- do not trim trees or remove debris on or near downed power lines. only power company crews or their contractors should remove trees or limbs touching power lines. again, stay away from downed power lines.
- keep away from the immediate areas where crews are working. there is always the danger of moving equipment and the possibility of construction materials, limbs or overhead wires falling to the ground.
- if you plan on using a generator for temporary power, get a licensed electrician and disconnect from the utility electric system before hooking up to your main electric panel.
- do not run a generator in a confined space without adequate ventilation. use them only outdoors, following all manufacturers’ safety guidelines.
- turn off any electrical appliances that can easily be turned to the off position until power is restored.
