Ameren Illinois Utilities: Southern Illinois #5 Inland Hurricane Update

Safety remains the number one concern. Residents are warned to stay away from down power lines and to call us or 911 to report down lines.

Customers planning to use a portable generator must first open the main breaker or remove the main fuses before connecting the generator to the electrical systems. Failure to do this could seriously injure utility crews working on outside power lines, and/or it could cause damage to a neighbor's property or the customer's own equipment. Customers should never use a portable generator indoors, including in a home, garage, basement, shed or partially-enclosed area even with ventilation because of the threat of deadly carbon monoxide poisoning.
