Take care, stay line aware! Stay away from fallen power lines
If you’ve lost power, turn off your power points and unplug electrical equipment if it is safe to do so. Don’t go outside during a storm to turn off power.
Do not run electrical equipment such as generators, extension leads or lighting in wet areas.
Some storms and floods can last for a long time. If the storm causes damage, do not attempt to make temporary electrical repairs. Turn the power off and have a licensed electrician perform the repairs after the bad weather has passed. If the power cannot be turned off, stay well away from the damaged equipment and call your electricity entity (Energex).
In a flood, place electrical equipment as high off the ground as possible.
