Important safety tips
Safety is the company's first concern after every storm. Duke Energy offers the following electrical safety guidelines, particularly when coping with flooding.
- Electric current passes easily through water, so stay away from downed electrical lines.
- Don't drive over – and don't stand near – downed electrical lines.
- Never replace a fuse or touch a circuit breaker with wet hands, or while standing on a wet or damp surface.
- If your home or business is flooded, Duke Energy cannot reconnect power until the electrical system has been inspected by a licensed electrician. If there is damage, an electrician will need to make necessary repairs and obtain verification from your local building inspection authority before power can be restored.
