How do I move through flooded areas?

Treat all powerlines as 'alive' and dangerous. Keep well clear of all powerlines. Avoid contact with wires that are hanging low or on the ground, dangling in flood-waters or tangled in trees.

Do not drive across fallen powerlines. If powerlines have fallen across or have become entangled in your vehicle, unless in immediate danger, remain inside your vehicle and call for help.

If in immediate danger (the wires are 'crackling' or moving), open your door and jump well clear keeping your hands off the vehicle and your feet together. Continue jumping with your feet together until at least 8 metres away from the vehicle and the wires.
