Tips From SCE&G


SCE&G provided these preparation tips!

  • SCE&G is prepared to deploy additional storm responders from around the southeast if Hurricane Florence brings the expected heavy winds and rains that will down power lines.  Nearly 2,900 personnel, including linemen and damage assessors, have been staged and are ready to respond quickly to power outages should they occur.
 
  • Stay away from downed power lines – storms can cause tree limbs and entire trees to break and fall, sometimes taking power lines and even meter boxes down with them.  Always assume any downed power line you see is live and stay away. To report a downed line, call 888-333-4465.
 
  • It is not necessary to turn off your natural gas service at the meter during a hurricane.  Natural gas is distributed through underground lines that should operate uninterrupted throughout the storm.  However, if you believe flooding could cause the pilot light of a natural gas appliance to be extinguished, you can turn off the appliance’s supply valve.  If you do turn off the appliance’s supply valve, or if your appliance becomes flooded, do not try to relight the pilot light yourself; instead, contact a qualified contractor to inspect the appliance before using it.
