This is an important message from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Power outages and flooding can cause electrical hazards in and around your home. Contact the utility company before working near a downed power line. Shut off the electricity and natural gas in your home, and do not turn power back on until equipment has been inspected by a qualified technician. To learn more, call the CDC at 800-CDC-INFO.
