What Should Residents Do During the Outage?
Residents affected by the Buderim power interruption should take precautions while waiting for electricity to return.
People can switch off and unplug sensitive electrical equipment, including computers and televisions, to reduce the risk of damage from power fluctuations when supply is restored. Appliances that could operate unattended, such as electric ovens and hotplates, should also be switched off.
Keeping a mobile phone charged and using a battery-powered torch can help households manage the disruption. Residents should avoid using candles where possible because of the fire risk.
Anyone who sees a fallen or damaged powerline should stay well clear and keep other people away. Energex advises people to remain at least 10 metres from fallen powerlines and report dangerous electrical incidents immediately. For fallen lines or electrical emergencies, call 13 19 62; call Triple Zero (000) if there is an immediate threat to life.
