After a flood hits your home, be very cautious before you power up, plug and turn on your appliances.

Check if your house is the only one without power of if it’s the whole neighborhood. If your home is the only one without power, you need to check your home electrical system. Ask a competent licensed electrician to do this for you.

Here are some helpful safety reminders:
• Make sure that the main electrical power switch or circuit breaker is turned off.
• Unplug all equipment and appliances. Turn off switches of permanently connected equipment. Unscrew all light bulbs if possible.
• As a safety precaution always assume the wires are “hot”, “live” or energized whenever working.
• Be observant and watchful after powering up your house to immediately detect any abnormalities.

Please Remember…SAFETY FIRST.
