First responders

  • Assume all overhead and downed (fallen) power lines are energized and potentially dangerous.
  • Call Entergy to report the downed lines and request assistance.
  • Keep yourself and your equipment AT LEAST 10 feet away from all overhead power lines, including service drops.
  • Keep yourself and the public AT LEAST 30 feet away from fallen power lines. Transmission lines from large towers require a distance of 100 feet.
  • Do not attempt to enter or contact vehicles that may be energized.
  • Never cut service wires or remove electrical meters.
