The Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission has announced the closure of all its service centres on July 1, owing to the impending passage of Hurricane Beryl.
In a release, T&TEC said its emergency call centre remains operational and fully staffed, with additional people assigned to manage the incoming calls.
The commission has also activated its emergency response plans and crews have been put on standby to start restoration efforts.
T&TEC urges the public to be extremely cautious and protect themselves from life-threatening danger.
It said main breakers of electrical outlets or connections that have been or are likely to be breached by water should be turned off.
"Do not stand on wet surfaces while handling electrical equipment such as cords, power tools and plugs as this exposes you to shock or electrocution," the release said.
