What should I do in case of a downed power line?

Asked 4 months ago
In the event of a downed power line, safety should be your top priority. It is essential to keep a safe distance from the power line and anything nearby that may be conductive, as downed lines can still carry electricity and pose a significant hazard. You should avoid approaching the line, and do not attempt to touch it. It is advisable to warn others in the vicinity to stay away as well. If you believe that there is a real danger, or if someone is injured, you should call emergency services right away. Additionally, reporting the downed power line to Northeast Utilities is important, as they need to be informed to address the situation. While I do not recommend contacting them directly, you can look on their current web page for the appropriate contact information. Remember, staying safe and ensuring that others are aware of the hazard is paramount until help arrives. Always treat any downed power line as if it is live and dangerous.
