Storm Center Preparations
Singing River Electric has a 5-phase proven plan designed to ensure smooth operations and immediate response. Does your family have a plan?
Family Plan...
"Preparation through education is less costly than learning through tragedy." Bill Proenza, National Hurricane Center
- Build a Hurricane Supply Kit including...
- water for 3-7 days
- medicines
- food for 3-7 days
- manual can opener
- fuel
- cash
- first aid kit
- bedding & clothing
- flashlight
- radio
- batteries
- Make sure SRE has your current phone number. Matching your phone number with your account speeds service.
- Charge cell phones and radios prior to storm.
- Keep refrigerator and freezer doors shut.
- Disconnect or turn off appliances that will turn on automatically when power is restored.
- Leave porch light on so crews will be able to determine the success of restoration.
Safety First...
- Treat all downed powerlines as if energized and stay far away.
- Notify Singing River Electric or call 911 to report downed lines.
- Do not attempt to repair the electrical system or pull trees off lines.
- Stay away from areas where there is a lot of debris and downed trees because they could conceal a downed and energized powerline.
- Do not connect generators to your household wiring. This can kill you or our employees. Directly connect small appliances to the generator.
