In a bid to more effectively combat the impact of bushfires in terms of threat to life and property, Powercor started using helicopters for aerial inspection work three years ago. hubs.la/Q03qqkf70

We're taking to the skies over Geelong, the Bellarine, and the Surf Coast from now until early May. Our low-flying laser-equipped helicopters will swoop over streets to identify trees along the powerline network that need to be trimmed before they can cause power outages or fires. heraldsun.com.au/news/powercor-…

#Powercor crews are continuing its work to repair damage to the electricity network and restore power to customers after last night’s severe storms. We know it's difficult to be without power during such hot weather. Huge thank you to impacted customers for their patience and understanding.

#Powercor is working to restore power to 3,960 customers across western and central Victoria following last night’s severe storms. Thousands of lightning strikes and strong winds brought down trees and damaged parts of the power network. Over the past 24 hours, crews have restored power to almost 40,000 customers. They're currently responding to more than 290 separate fault jobs and the #Geelong region is the hardest hit with crews from Colac, Kyneton, Ardeer and Brooklyn deployed. ⚠️Remember to stay well away from fallen powerlines. Always assume they are live and report them to us immediately on 13 24 12.

Fires can damage the electricity network and cause power outages. Heat waves also place significant stress on the network as more people switch on their air con. Strict procedures are in place on Total Fire Ban days to reduce the risk of fires starting from our assets. We have to operate the network's safety settings at a higher level of sensitivity and our crews may need to conduct safety checks, so it may take longer to restore power if an outage occurs. BE SAFE. Your health and safety is the priority. BE SMART. Know how to say connected if the power goes out. BE READY. Have a plan in place for back-up power. More info powercor.com.au/emergency

🔥🔥The first Total Fire Ban (TFB) for the fire season has been declared with the Mallee region expecting extreme fire danger 🔥🔥 While working to provide reliable power to meet demand we also have to operate our network's safety settings at a higher level of sensitivity. Strict procedures are in place to reduce the risk of fires starting from our assets. Our crews may also need to conduct safety checks and line patrols so it can take longer to restore power if an outage occurs. ⚠️ Be Safe. Your health and safety is the priority. ⚠️ Be Smart. If the power goes out, you’ll want to stay connected. ⚠️ Be Ready. Have a plan in place for back-up power.
