Sharjah authority raises electrical safety awareness during rain with text messages

Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority (SEWA) has launched a public awareness campaign via text messages as part of its ongoing efforts to promote community awareness of safety procedures, especially in light of the weather fluctuations and periods of rainfall that the country is experiencing.

In its messages, SEWA underlined the importance of conducting regular maintenance of electrical wiring with focus on exposed wires, which must be tightly insulated and secured in accordance with approved safety requirements and standards so as to reduce potential risks.

SEWA also underscored the need to be cautious during periods of rain, as any leaks in the electrical wiring might cause malfunctions or unexpected power outages, which would necessitate the necessary preventive measures to be taken.

The commitment of members of society to these guidelines would contribute to enhancing public safety levels and supporting the continuity of services with efficiency and reliability, it added, stressing that it would continue to launch various awareness campaigns through all channels to ensure that the guidance messages reach as many people as possible.
