Safety First - Call 911 to Report Downed Power Lines

Your safety is our First Concern

If you see a downed electrical power line, assume it is energized and keep yourself and others away. Call 911 immediately to report the location of the downed line then call your local Electric Utility Company 24-Hour Emergency and Customer Service Line. During and after a storm, please keep away from flooded areas and downed trees, as these areas could be hiding an energized power line.
