With early predictions of an above-average hurricane season for 2024, we must maintain our hurricane readiness to ensure safety and minimise destruction, danger and loss of power.

The most effective method of protecting your property and your loved ones is to trim your trees back so that they are at least ten feet away from power lines. Fallen tree branches can pull down power lines and even entire utility poles. These downed lines pose a serious electrocution and fire hazard.

Trimming your trees can also reduce the risk of one of the most inconvenient parts of a hurricane: losing your electricity. Most outages in Bermuda are caused by trees falling on power lines.

IMPORTANT
Power lines must be de-energised before trimming trees. Contact BELCO three weeks in advance via email at or via telephone at 295-5111 to schedule a  power shutdown so you can trim safely .

Recognise anyone? If so, let us know at .

Call Before You Dig
Avoid hitting underground cables and keep your workers safe.

Please call (295-5111) BELCO at least one week before any digging or trenching. We’ll visit your site to locate and mark underground cables. This free service helps to keep workers safe and prevents the interruption of your electricity supply.

Trim Your Trees. Prevent Outages.
Did you know that falling branches cause most storm-related power outages?

Trim your trees at least 10 feet from power lines to reduce storm-related power outages. Call (295-5111) or email () us 3 weeks in advance to schedule a power shutdown so you can trim safely.

Paying attention to the temperature settings of high-energy consuming appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators and freezers, washing machines and dishwashers can have a big impact on reducing energy consumption.
