Electrical Safety & Power Outages
Posted on 12/04/2019
Electrical Safety
Look for and replace frayed or cracked extension and appliance cords, loose prongs and plugs.
Be aware of exposed outlets and wiring; they can present a fire and life safety hazard.
Repair or replace appliances that emit smoke or sparks.
Have a licensed electrician check your home for damage.
If your home has sustained flood or water damage, and you can safely get to the main breaker or fuse box, turn off the power.
In the case of flood or water damage, assume all wires on the ground are electrically charged. This includes cable TV feeds.
If the Power Goes Out
Be careful when using candles. Keep the flame away from combustible objects and out of the reach of children.
Make certain that all electrical appliances, such as stoves, electric space heaters and hair dryers, are in the OFF position.
Be aware that some smoke alarms may be dependent on your home's electrical service and could be inoperative during a power outage.
Check to see if your smoke alarm uses a back-up battery and install a new battery at least twice a year.
