Fallen power lines are deadly! Stay clear of them. Don’t touch or try to move any object in contact or near the line. Do not trim trees or remove debris on or near downed power lines. Do not step in any nearby water puddles – they can be as dangerous as the live wires!
If you are in a vehicle that accidentally gets entangled in a power line, stay where you are. Do not try to get out unless fire or severe injuries demand it. In these cases it’s important to break all contact with the vehicle in a specific way: keep both feet together and jump out of the vehicle and land, feet still together, on the ground.
