Proactively respond to bad situations
According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, in the coming days, the Central Highlands and the South will have scattered showers and thunderstorms, with some places experiencing heavy rain in the afternoon and at night, with the possibility of tornadoes, lightning and strong gusts of wind...
Accordingly, the Standing Committee of the Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Search and Rescue will regularly monitor and update disaster warning and forecast bulletins on the media to have proactive solutions for prevention and timely response.
Specifically, Vinh Long Electricity Company has proactively provided complete and timely information on the supply and restoration process of power supply in areas affected by tornadoes, floods and storms.
Coordinate with mass media agencies to promote and create consensus and share efforts to overcome difficulties in the electricity industry.
In addition, coordinate with local authorities and organizations to propagate electrical safety among people and manage and protect the safety corridor of the power grid to prevent accidents during the rainy and stormy season.
District power companies and Vinh Long high-voltage grid enterprises coordinate with mass organizations such as the Farmers' Association, Women's Union, Youth Union, and schools to organize propaganda, distribute leaflets to promote knowledge of electrical safety and protect the safety corridor of high-voltage grids among the people.
Strengthen on-site inspections to promptly detect violations of high-voltage grid safety corridors, and closely coordinate with localities to resolve each violation.
In case of incidents or damage to the power grid caused by natural disasters, the reporting units must quickly summarize the information for the company's leaders to review and approve reports sent to the locality and superiors in a complete, timely, and correct manner according to the "4 on-site" principle.
In case of natural disasters involving human accidents, the electricity industry requires units to proactively organize search and rescue, organize first aid, treat victims, proactively coordinate and combine with relevant forces to actively search for missing people... ensure security, safety and social order, protect the property of the State, enterprises and people in the area and location where natural disasters occur during the rescue process.
Recently, the electricity industry has also quickly handled power grid and power station incidents, prioritizing power restoration for important loads, central areas, densely populated areas, etc. to serve stable daily life and people's lives.
Specifically, from July 25 to 27, 2024, tornadoes damaged 25 houses in the province and affected the electricity supply. Thereby, the electricity sector promptly coordinated with localities to repair and overcome broken power systems and fallen power poles to ensure safety and smooth operation.
Electrical safety for households
Before the rainy season, the electricity industry recommends that households check their home electrical systems and fix defects that could cause problems by installing additional circuit breakers and circuit breakers with anti-leakage features.
Check the installation of the branch wire after the electric meter, 2 wires in parallel, higher than the head. It is necessary to choose the appropriate power wire, the insulation surface of the wire is not cracked, can withstand tension...
In addition, it is necessary to install electrical lines, electrical outlets, and electrical equipment in the house at a higher position than the water level that is often flooded and wet. Install electrical on/off devices with anti-leakage features. Check the roof tie-downs to ensure that when storms occur, the metal roof will not fly into the power lines.
Turn off the power (turn off the circuit breaker) if the house is flooded or the floor is wet from rain. Turn off the power supply to outdoor electrical equipment (signs, advertisements, etc.) during heavy rain or strong winds.
Customers using generators should pay attention to cutting off circuit breakers, circuit breakers, fuses, etc. to separate them from the area's common power grid, avoiding the phenomenon of electricity being transmitted back to the grid. Trim trees, clean up and protect the power grid safety corridor.
When cutting trees near power lines, it is necessary to observe the risk of trees falling onto the power lines, causing electric discharge, endangering property and life. People must contact and coordinate with the local electricity company to have effective safety measures. Failure to do so on your own will lead to electric discharge accidents, endangering life and causing property damage.
When someone is electrocuted, shout loudly to notify people around to come and help. It is necessary to urgently use appropriate measures to separate the victim from the power source and quickly provide first aid to the victim, at the same time call 115 and notify the nearest medical facility for timely treatment.
