Report an emergency

If you are in a life threatening situation call triple zero 000

In the event of an electric shock do not attempt to touch or rescue a person until the power has been cut off and the situation has been made safe by a suitably qualified person. People who are in contact with an electrical source are themselves conductors of electricity until the power is turned off. 

To report electrical emergencies and faults call 13 13 88 (24hrs)

Stay at least 8 metres or 2 car lengths away from fallen poles and wires.
