After the Storn

After a storm has passed, it’s time to start thinking about what’s next. With safety in mind:

• Report any electrical outages in your area to SVEC.
• Use protective gear, like gloves, during any cleanup.
• Stay away from downed power lines.
• Never attempt to remove tree limbs or branches from power lines.
• Give emergency and utility vehicles the right of way to allow for faster recovery.
• If evacuated, monitor reports to determine when it is safe to return home.
• Contact friends and family to let them know you are safe.
