he Victorian State Government is seeking to ensure all Victorians are aware of the possibility of power outages during summer weather conditions and what they can do to prepare.
As a result of the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires, increased safety measures have been introduced through the Government’s Powerline Bushfire Safety Program requiring electricity businesses to modify their powerline safety settings on Total Fire Ban and Code Red days to reduce the risk of bushfires.
This may result in more power failures and a delay in restoring power if a fault occurs. In response, we promote ‘Your Guide to Power Outages’. Please take a couple of minutes to read the guide, it only takes a few simple things to be prepared for a power outage.
