When storms sweep through South Australia, one of the biggest dangers is trees and branches coming down onto powerlines.
Josh from SA Power Networks has seen firsthand how risky this can be - and wants to clear up a dangerous misconception.
“Many people think fallen powerlines are dead. In fact, they are often still live —-and can cause serious injury or electrocution.”
⚡ Josh’s top safety tips:
• Always stay at least 10 metres back from fallen powerlines.
• Report the hazard immediately to SA Power Networks.
• Be proactive: on your own property, check for trees or branches close to powerlines and have them trimmed before storm season.
These simple steps can reduce risks, protect your household, and keep our community safe when wild weather hits.
👉 Get Ready: Stay back, stay safe, and prepare before the next storm.
