Norfolk Island Regional Council reminds the community to please report fallen powerlines immediately by calling the 24-hour Electricity Department at 23206. This includes damaged powerlines or powerlines hanging much lower than usual. Stay safe by following these precautions:
Always assume fallen powerlines are ‘live’ and dangerous.
Do not attempt to remove debris or trees caught in powerlines, as they could be ‘live’ with electricity.
Stay well clear, let others know and immediately report it by calling the 24-hour Electricity Department at 23206. Please note that this phone number diverts to the team member on call. If you are unable to reach someone, call 000.
Council thanks the community for continuing to help keep the island safe.
