Franklin REC reminds the public to stay away from all downed power lines and utility poles. These may still be energized and pose a serious risk of injury or death.
Always look up and around before clearing debris. Do not approach downed trees or poles, and if you see a hazard, call your utility provider or local law enforcement to report it.
The majority of the damage for Franklin REC is in the northern part of their service territory, or for northern Franklin and southern Cerro Gordo Counties.
