HONOLULU -- Hawaiian Electric Co. released some safety tips they said people should take to ensure safety during outages.
People who are dependant on electric life supporting medical equipment should make arrangements for backup power or go to a medical facility. Do not touch low hanging or fallen lines. Do not assume you can tell the difference between telephone and power lines. Stay clear of puddles near downed lines. Turn off and unplug sensitive electronics like computers. If your power is out, keep your refrigerator and freezer closed.
