Power company
gives disaster
precautions
In the tragic wake of Cam
ille and other weather disasters
South Carolina Electric & Gas
Company is alerting its cus
tomers to safety procedures and
precautions to be followed dur
ing and after hurricanes, tor
nados and other storms.
The utility has devoted its
September bill staffer to a re
view of safety instructions and
advice intended to save lives
and possessions.
V. C. Summer, senior vice
president, operations, pointed
out that the hurricane season
is not over, adding that resi
dents should familiarize them
selves with life-saving precau
tions, including evacuation when
advised by weather experts.
The new mailing piece ad
vise that residents pay close
attention to weather bureau in
structions broadcast over radio
and TV. It lists the following
advice:
Before wind and flood (1)
Have car’s gas tank filled, check
battery and tries.
(2) Stock up on drinking wat
er and foods that need no cook
ing or refrigeration.
(3) Keep handy a flashlight,
first aid kit, fire extinguisher,
and battery-powered radio.
(4) Store all loose objects and
board or tape up all windows.
(5) Get away from low areas
that might be swept away by
floods or tides.
During the storm (1) Stay in
doors. . .don’t be fooled if the
calm “eye” passes directly over
and don't be caught when the
hurricane winds resume from
the opposite direction.
(2) Listen to radio and TV
for information from the weath
er bureau, civil defense, red
cross and authorities.
After the storm has passed:
(1) Do not drive unless ne
cessary. Watch out for under
mined pavement and broken
power lines.
(2) Use extreme caution to
prevent outbreak of fire, or in
juries from falling objects.
(3) Report downed power
lines, broken sewer or water
pipes to proper authorities or
nearest policeman.
(4) Use phones for emergen
cies only. Jammed switchboards
prevent emergency calls from
going through.
One page of the stuffer is
devoted to tornado safety in
structions, including what act
ion to take in schools, cities
and towns, in office buildings,
in factories, in homes, in mo
bile homes and light dwellings,
and in open country.
“Although we have been mak
ing it an annual practice to
publish emergency civil de
fense weather instructions eith
er through advertising message
or printed stuffers, we would
suggest that residents contact
the civil defense office for more
specific instructions,” said Mr.
Summer.
With respect to utility opera
tions, he noted that an emer
gency storm manual outlines
in detail standard operating
procedures for company per
sonnel.
