Consider all lines energized, as well as trees, limbs, fences or anything in contact with lines.<\/li>\n<li>If a power line falls across a car that you&#8217;re in, stay in the car. If you MUST exit the car due to a fire or other immediate life-threatening situation, do your best to jump clear of the car and land on both feet. Be sure that no part of your body is touching the car when your feet touch the ground.<\/li>\n<li>A generator can be very useful during a power outage, but remember to always follow the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions to ensure safe and proper operation.<\/li>\n<li>Please watch for utility crews and turn the generator off when crews are in your area. The electrical load on the power lines can be hazardous for crews making repairs.<\/li>\n<li>Operate your generator outside. Never operate it inside a building or garage.<\/li>\n<li>If rising water threatens your home \u2013 or if you evacuate your home \u2013 turn off your power at the circuit breaker panel or fuse box.<\/li>\n<li>Electric current passes easily through water, so stay away from downed power lines and electrical wires. Don&#8217;t drive over \u2013 and don&#8217;t stand near \u2013 downed power lines.<\/li>\n<li>Downed lines will be hard to see in the rain and can potentially be hidden in standing water. If you encounter large pools of standing water, stop, back up and choose another path.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more tips during and after the storm, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duke-energy.com\/safety-and-preparedness\/storm-safety?_ga=2.154779837.466753739.1663589482-1703546195.1637073734\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">duke-energy.com\/StormTips<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For company updates, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dukeenergyupdates.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">duke-energy.com\/updates<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wcag-arialevel-3\" style=\"font-size: 1.17em;font-weight: bold\" role=\"heading\">\n        <b>Duke Energy Florida<\/b>\n      <\/div>\n<p>Duke Energy Florida, a subsidiary of Duke Energy, owns 10,300 megawatts of energy capacity, supplying electricity to 1.9 million residential, commercial and industrial customers across a 13,000-square-mile service area in <span class=\"xn-location\">Florida<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK), a Fortune 150 company headquartered in <span class=\"xn-location\">Charlotte, N.C.<\/span>, is one of America&#8217;s largest energy holding companies.
