the restoration process can also be hampered by the surge of instantaneous electrical demand from appliances like air conditioning and water heaters when service is restored, potentially overloading protective devices on the electrical system. to reduce the impact of instantaneous demand, entergy recommends if you lose power that you turn off any electrical appliances that can easily be turned to the off position until power is restored.
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, 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.
- keep away from the immediate areas where crews are working. there is always the danger of moving equipment and the possibility of construction materials or 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.
