Flood Warning
When a flood warning is issued, remove or relocate all electrical
equipment to areas well above the estimated flood height. Switch
off electricity to non-essential circuits before they are submerged
in flood water. If your home is evacuated, unplug all appliances
and remove the switch fuses in the meter box. After a flood,
when approaching your home, watch for downed wires. Do not drive
over them or get close to them. Always assume they are energized
and call authorities. Upon re-entering your home, do not attempt
to reset circuit breakers until all water has receded. Be sure
to wear dry clothes and rubber soled shoes, and stand on something
dry and non-conductive, such as dry wooden furniture. After
plugging in an appliance, if the breaker trips or a fuse blows,
or if you see or smell smoke, disconnect the appliance immediately
and call a service person.
