Hurricane Safety Tips
CenterPoint Energy prepares for the worst every hurricane season, and so should you. Click on the link above for what to do before, during and after a storm.

After a severe storm in our electric service area around Houston, CenterPoint Energy's emergency operation teams make an aerial survey, and nearly 600 inspectors check the damage.
If you see a power line on the ground after a major storm, don't assume that it is not energized. Stay at least 10 feet away from the wire and secure the area to keep others away, too.
Electricity can be dangerous. CenterPoint Energy cares about safety and offers these tips.
When a hurricane is threatening, following CenterPoint Energy's gas safety tips could mean quicker restoration of service.
CenterPoint Energy offers important safety tips and precautions to take if you own and operate a portable generator.
