If an electrical emergency occurs, it’s important to know who to call and how to respond. Following are some helpful tips.

ELECTRICAL ACCIDENTS

Who to call
Call 911 for emergency assistance.

How to respond
If someone comes in contact with a power line or an electical wire, don’t touch the person until you KNOW the power has been turned off.

1. Unplug the device or cut power at the main service panel or call your local power company’s emergency number for assistance with downed power lines.

2. When you’re sure the power has been turned off, call 911 for emergency assistance.

If the victim isn’t breathing ...
Administer CPR until help arrives.

If the victim is in shock ...
Loosen clothing and keep him or her horizontal and warm.

If the victim is burned ...
Wait for the medical professionals.

Always seek medical assistance, no matter how minor the incident. The victim’s heart could be affected several hours later. Electricity burns from the inside out so the victim’s injuries might not be visible.
