Alert

Numerous Lines Down

As power is being restored we wanted to remind everyone that there are still lines down in rural areas and to Stay Away from them. While they may not have been energized or arcing earlier as powers restored they can become energized and deadly. Do not ever go into proximity of a downed line even if you feel it's dead or just a phone line. These can be energized by other means such as crossing another line miles away or someone's generator back feeding. Please report downed lines when you see them. 

Instructions:

Avoid Downed Lines
