Phu Tho Electricity Company recommends electrical safety during the rainy and stormy season

To respond to the complicated developments of storm No. 5, ensure the safety of people and electricity customers before, during and after the storm, along with proactively and urgently implementing response solutions, Phu Tho Electricity Company also strengthens propaganda work, advising customers to use electricity in areas where the power grid passes through to coordinate implementation.

Cao Phong Regional Electricity Management Team promotes safe electricity use for people.

Before the storm hits, people need to check and reinforce the electrical system in their homes and workplaces. Turn off unnecessary electrical equipment, avoid placing outlets and electrical equipment in places at risk of being splashed with rain or flooded. When the storm arrives, if you are forced to go out due to work or objective conditions, you must absolutely avoid standing near electric poles, power stations or coming into contact with electrical equipment when it is raining heavily or windy. In the house, if the floor is flooded or wet, you need to turn off the power (cut the circuit breaker). Circuit breakers, fuses, circuit breakers and outlets should be placed higher than 1m40, dry, to avoid children from contacting or causing electrical short circuits when flooded.

In flooded areas, only turn on the power again after checking all electrical equipment in the house to detect and eliminate damage and unsafe phenomena.

When detecting someone being electrocuted, quickly turn off the power source and call for help. If you cannot turn off the power immediately, use a dry wooden stick or bamboo pole to push the wire away or pull the victim with dry clothes. Absolutely do not touch the victim directly.

In case of detecting electrical problems in the house or on the street, people should not attempt to repair them themselves without the knowledge and appropriate tools to avoid causing electrical accidents.

Please contact the electricity industry immediately for support via EVNNPC Customer Care Center: 1900 6769.
