MEA director of Corporate Communications Jumpote Himacharoen said on Tuesday that electricity users should survey their meters, outlets and appliances during the rainy season. “Contact MEA Call Centre 1130 and we will come move the meters for free.”The MEA has dispatched technicians to check all electrical meters on power poles in metropolitan areas to make sure they are working properly and are safe from flood, Jumpote said. The MEA also has officers on standby around the clock to provide emergency services in case of blackout or electrical malfunctions at key locations such as water drainage facilities, drainage tunnels and underground walkways, he said. He also called on owners of billboards to check the structural integrity of the billboards and make sure the foundation is secure so it can withstand strong winds. “Please follow the latest updates on weather and the flood situation from related authorities and make sure to prepare accordingly,” he added.
