Storm and Electrical Safety Tips

Re-check your evacuation zone: zone maps changed for 2026, especially near the Alafia River.
Look up your address on HEAT before a storm is in the Gulf.
After flooding, keep it off if water reached outlets, your panel, AC equipment or appliances.
Have an electrician inspect before turning the power back on.
Use generators safely: run portable generators outside, far from doors, windows and the garage.
Never plug a generator into a wall outlet.
A properly installed transfer switch or interlock keeps you and line workers safe.
Protect against summer lightning: our afternoon storms bring a lot of lightning.
A whole-home surge protector at the panel helps guard your electronics.
Add point-of-use protectors for TVs and computers.
Size circuits for new loads: EV chargers, hot tubs and added AC units need properly sized circuits.
Have your panel capacity checked before you add a big load.
Stay clear of downed lines. Treat every downed line as live.
