Should I turn off my power if my house is flooding?
Turn your power off before flooding, Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Chief Reece Bertholf said. There is no safe way to turn off the power after water is in.
Never attempt to turn off the power or operate circuit breakers while standing in water, FEMA cautions.
