Safety First
Assume every downed power line is energized. Stay away from wires, nearby puddles, fences and vehicles that may be in contact with a line. Call 911 for life-threatening emergencies. Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed when possible. If traffic lights are dark, approach intersections carefully and follow applicable traffic rules.
