CLP Activates Emergency Management Team for Managing Super Typhoon Usagi

In view of the approaching super-typhoon Usagi, CLP Power (CLP) has activated its emergency management team to closely monitor and assess the potential impact on its power systems. Necessary actions will be taken to safeguard the reliable supply.
CLP endeavors to maintain the safe operations of the power systems and mitigate the impact it might have on electricity supply. Yet adverse weather might still lead to voltage dips, unstable supply or even power interruptions which may cause inconvenience to customers. The company regrets for
any inconvenience this may cause and request for customers' understanding.
In case any public see any overhead lines or electric poles falling, please immediately call the 24- hour emergency hotline at 2728 8333. The public are reminded not to touch or try to remove the fallen electrical equipment as they may still be connected with electricity.
In the event of power interruptions, please call CLP's 24-hour emergency hotline at 2728 8333. For those living in public housing estates, please call the Housing Department's Hotline at 2761 5555 first.
In case of widespread power outage, CLP will give priority of power restoration for those customers with life-supporting equipment and key public-serving organisations, like hospitals, railways, airports, broadcasting and telecommunications agencies.
