“This program provides memorable, actionable steps for dealing with power line emergencies. I love the visor card! It’s easy to read and follow. I’m going to encourage each of my students to keep a card in their glovebox and download it to their phone.”
“There’s a gas meter right by my driveway. Now that I know what could happen if someone hits it, I’ll be super careful whenever I back out!”
“We learned what to do after a crash in my driver education class, but not a crash involving a utility pole. To be honest, I never even thought about it! Now I know to stay in the car until utility workers say it’s safe to exit. I wouldn’t have known that without this program.”
“It’s hard to get teens to take the risks of road hazards seriously—they think nothing bad will ever happen to them. So, I appreciate the section in the Instructor’s Guide about actual power line tragedies involving young people. These stories really wake students up!”
“Weather-related downed power lines are becoming more frequent in our area. This website and the downloadable materials make it quick and easy for me to teach my kid what to do if a power line comes down nearby.”
“Downed power line safety is not covered in our state health and safety curriculum. I’m happy to see these materials and look forward to using them in my classroom.”
