Be sure to stay at least 35 feet away from a downed line. That’s about the length of three cars.

Don’t touch the power line or anything in contact with it.

Call 911 and tell others nearby to stay away.

You should consider all downed lines live and dangerous. You or others could suffer serious injury or death.

Try to keep warm air in and cool air out by not opening doors to unused rooms and only opening doors to the outdoors if necessary.

If the refrigerator reaches temperatures above 40 F, foods can become unsafe. You can help keep foods colder longer by leaving the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible.
