What precautions should I take after a flood?

When you return to your home after a flood, do not use any electrical appliances which were flooded, and don't handle any wet electrical equipment.

Do not try to replace circuit fuses or switch power on to wiring or equipment which has been flooded until the electrical installation is thoroughly dry and has been checked by a licensed electrical contractor.

For your safety, our Customer Safety Officers will inspect your main switchboard and meters, if they were flooded, before power is restored.
