Immediately contact the hotline 19001909 of the Central Power Customer Care Center to receive timely support from the electricity industry to fix the problem.

EVNCPC also directed units to strengthen propaganda on electrical safety, use software to warn of sudden output to promptly detect the risk of short circuits, ensuring safety for people when using electricity after natural disasters such as storms and floods.
