During a bushfire event
Enact your Bush Fire Survival Plan
- Be prepared for a loss of electricity, water, or communications even if a fire isn’t near your property
- Please be patient – damage to powerlines may be significant, and it may take us some time to safely find and repair any faults
- Charge up mobile phones and devices, as well as power banks
- If you are using a generator, place it outside to keep the fumes out of living spaces
- Monitor fire warnings through the Rural Fire Service or Hazards Near Me app
Recovery / After an Event
If your property or electrical equipment is damaged, it must be checked by a licenced electrician before it can be reconnected to the electricity network
Treat all powerlines as 'live' and dangerous by keeping at least 8m away from any low or fallen powerlines. Never drive across fallen powerlines
If you see a fallen or damaged power line, call Endeavour Energy on 131 003 or call 000 if the situation is life-threatening
