What Should I Do if I See a Downed Wire?

If you see downed wires:

  • Stay at least 35 feet away from the downed wires. The ground or anything the lines are touching (branches, your car or your house for example) could be energized.
  • Do not drive over the downed lines or attempt to move them even with a stick or a broom. Keep
    pets and children away as well.
  • Call 911 and report the lines down to the cooperative on the app (where you can leave
    comments) or by calling (800) 282-5064.
