There are some outside that cm really cause trouble.
As the company that owns the poles and lines your
power provider uses to deliver your electricity, it’s our
responsibility to warn you about them. Always assume
power lines are live, even if they're down. Though power
lines provide you with reliable electric service, they can
cause severe injury if you touch them with your hands, a
stick or anything else. Here are a few more situations to
pay close attention to when you're outside:

Funding for this program is
made available from public dona-
tions. A $5.00 donation from each
person attending is greatly appreci-
ated. Our organization relies on
donations to make treatment avail-
able to those in need. An appoint-
ment is not necessary. Simply sign
in at the session and immediately
receive treatment.
Sign in 30 minutes early as
our sessions fill up quickly
by the disaster. The state, in partner-
ship with local agencies, is operat-
ing with a $637,000 Federal
Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) immediate services pro-
gram grant.
“Keeping stress levels down as the
recovery process continues is no
easy task. It isn't going to be the
way it was, but you can be stronger
- every closed door opens up to a
new one. We just need to stay con-
nected with each other,” Thompson
said.
Disaster victims who are having
difficulty coping with some or all of
these stress-induced problems
should contact the crisis counseling
team in their area at the following
numbers:
Gulf Coast area (Galveston,
Brazoria counties), 281-482-4805;
Harris County, 713-970-7070;
