Safety first in Mississippi

Stay well away from any downed wire and anything touching it. Call 911 for injuries or lines down, then the utility.

What you can safely do

  • Get people and pets out of rooms under or near the tree.
  • Shut off gas at the meter if you smell gas, and leave the house.
  • Photograph the scene from a safe distance before anything is moved.
  • Call your insurer early. Many policies want to know before major work.

Leave these to professionals

  • Never go near or touch a tree that's touching a wire. Treat every line as live.
  • Don't try to cut a tree off a roof yourself. The weight can shift without warning.
  • Don't stand under hanging or cracked limbs to look at the damage.
  • Don't let anyone pressure you into signing a contract or assigning insurance benefits at the door.
