street. Petersburg, Florida – less than 24 hours after Hurricane Milton was exposed, Duke Energy Florida announced the estimated restoration times for all customers who were affected by the storm on Friday afternoon October.
“We know that Floridian, affected by Hurricane Milton, is eager to start the recovery process,” said Tod Founden, a storm in Duke Energy Florida. “We are working tirelessly to assess the damages caused by this storm and confirm the estimated restoration times as soon as possible, so we hope this information will be allowed and communicate regularly with our customers to plan accordingly.”
Duke Energy focuses on energy restore safely and faster as possible and in a sequence that begins with public health and safety facilities, also thinking about how to influence the largest number of customers. It is important to note that customers who have suffered from extensive damage or floods may require additional restoration time and some should be ready for the stretch current. Updates will be connected to customers as soon as possible.
Flood and scale damage
For customers who were immersed by the house or their business, Duke Energy cannot re -connect the energy until the electrical system is examined by licensed electricity. If there is damage, electricity will need to make repairs and to verify the authority to check the local buildings before restoring the energy.
If the meter box is withdrawn away from the customer’s home or mobile home service column and the energy is not received, then the owner of the house is responsible for contacting the electricity to re -connect the meter box and/or provide a permanent solution. In some cases, an electrical examination may be needed by the province before Duke Energy can reconnect the service. Electricity can advise customers in the following steps.
Low power lines are dangerous
Duke Energy mentions customers and the public by moving away from the electricity generation lines that have fallen or declined, and look at all power lines – trees and limbs or anything in contact with power lines – active and dangerous.
If the power line is located across a vehicle, then stay in the car. If you should get out of the car due to a fire or other direct situations that threaten life, try to jump from the car and fall on my feet. Make sure that there is no part of your body touching the car when you touch your feet.
Customers who use generators
If you use a generator at home to save energy until your service is restored, please monitor the facilities sets and turn off the generator when the crews are in your area. The electrical load on the electrical lines can be dangerous on the crews that make repairs. The extra electricity created by one of the generator can feed on the electrical lines, which leads to a severe line technician that may work on an electrical line, believing that its activation has been canceled.
