What should I do in case of an electrical emergency in Florida?
1. Stay Calm and Assess the Situation
Sparks, smoke, or burning smells: Turn off the power at the circuit breaker—only if it is safe to do so.
Downed power lines: Stay at least 30 feet away and never touch them. Even if they appear inactive, they could still be energized.
Power outage with possible electrical damage: Avoid using appliances or electronics until power is fully restored and inspected.
2. Call 911 Immediately If:
There is a fire or visible damage.
Someone is injured from electric shock.
You see a downed power line or exposed wiring posing a danger.
3. Notify the Power Company
Contact your local utility provider to report outages, sparks, or fallen lines:
Florida Power & Light (FPL): 1-800-468-8243
Duke Energy Florida: 1-800-228-8485
Tampa Electric: 1-877-588-1010
4. Avoid Water Near Electricity
Never touch electrical outlets, appliances, or cords with wet hands or if standing in water—especially important during storms or flooding.
5. Don’t DIY Repairs
Leave repairs to licensed electricians. Attempting to fix wiring or panels without training can cause injury or death.
6. Use a Generator Safely (If Applicable)
Keep it outside and away from windows.
Never plug it directly into a wall outlet.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions closely.
7. Call a Licensed Electrician After the Emergency
After power is restored, have a licensed and insured electrician inspect your system for hidden damage to prevent future hazards.
