Currently, some low-lying areas, remote areas, flooded areas or customer's filter lines are damaged and cannot be connected to the power safely.
EVNCPC recommends that people proactively check the damaged or at risk of peeling and causing a collision in their home system and immediately contact the 19001909 switchboard of the Central Power Customer Care Center for timely repair and handling by the electricity industry.
EVNCPC also directed units to increase electrical safety propaganda, use sudden product warning software to promptly detect the risk of collisions, and ensure safety for people during the use of electricity after natural disasters and floods.
