Power Line Safety

If you see a power line on the ground, DO NOT TOUCH it with anything. Expect every power line to be “live.” If a power line falls across your vehicle, DO NOT GET OUT! Take care not to touch any of the metal frame. Honk your horn, roll down the window and warn anyone who may approach of the danger. Ask someone to call the police and wait until emergency help arrives. To report downed power lines call Cowlitz PUD:(360) 423-2210 or WA toll free 1-(800) 631-1131
