What to Do If You See a Downed Power Line

Never, ever touch a downed power line or go near one. Power lines are not insulated like power cords. Always assume the power line is live.

• Don't touch a fallen power line or anything touching the wire.
• Do not touch anything or anyone in contact with a fallen power line or other equipment.
• Keep children and pets away from fallen electric wires.
• Do not drive over a fallen power line.
• Call 911 immediately to report a fallen power line.

What to Do If a Power Line Touches Your Car

If your vehicle comes in contact with a downed power line:

• Stay inside! The safest place is in your car. The ground around your car may be energized.
• Honk the horn, roll down your window and yell for help.
• Warn others to stay away. Anyone who touches the equipment or ground around the vehicle may be injured.
• Use your mobile phone to call 911.
