Currently, some low-lying and remote areas, where there is still water or the power lines behind the meter are damaged, cannot be safely energized. EVNCPC recommends that people proactively check the electrical system in their homes and contact the Central Power Customer Care Center 1900 1909 for support when detecting electrical safety risks.

The Corporation also directed units to strengthen propaganda on electrical safety, apply software to warn of sudden power output to promptly detect the risk of short circuits, ensuring safety for people when using electricity after storms and floods.
