Telephone or cable television wires that are touching a power line could become energized and should also be avoided
• Notify near by KESC BOC to report the location of any downed lines
• Don’t attempt to repair the electrical system or pull tree limbs off lines. Stay clear of areas where there is a lot of debris or downed trees. It could conceal an energized power line
• Stay clear of chain link fences that may be energized if touching a downed line
• Stay away from any water that may have downed wires in or near the area
• Stay away from areas where KESC crews are working. Whether you’re driving or walking, pay attention to all warning signs, drive cautiously and let the crews work to restore power quickly and safely
• If you have an electric generator, please ensure that you have isolated your home or business from the KESC electrical service lines by opening main breakers or other devices. Serious Injuries to others, even if they are located long distances away, can occur if the generator energizes the electrical wires outside the home
• Please plug appliances directly into the generator rather than energizing the wiring in the house if possible.
