⚡At KPUB, safety is our top priority, and we’re here to help you stay safe before, during, and after a storm.
⛈ Before the Storm: Prep Your Power
Severe weather can hit with little warning. Prep now to avoid dangerous situations later.
• Unplug sensitive electronics like TVs, computers, and gaming consoles. Sudden surges can fry your devices—even if the power’s out.
• Know your main breaker location so you can shut off power safely if water enters your home.
• Charge phones and flashlights ahead of time to keep communication and light available.
• Install surge protectors to defend appliances from power spikes.
Want long-term protection? KPUB’s home energy audits can flag electrical weak spots and suggest storm-ready upgrades.
🌊 During Flooding: Water + Power = Deadly
Water conducts electricity—and that makes flooded areas incredibly dangerous. Here’s what to do:
• Never step into water that could be touching electrical outlets, cords, or appliances.
• Stay away from downed power lines. Always assume they’re live—report them to KPUB immediately.
• Avoid using electrical equipment if you’re wet or standing on a wet surface.
Report outages or hazards with SmartHub
🧯 After the Storm: Reconnect with Caution
The skies might clear, but dangers can linger.
• Don’t turn the power back on until an electrician checks your system, especially if your home flooded.
• Check appliances for damage before plugging them in. Waterlogged electronics can spark fires.
• Watch for weird smells, sounds, or flickers. These could signal hidden electrical damage.
