🚗 Can you drive over a downed power line? It may look harmless, but the answer is NO. Downed power lines can energize your vehicle, the ground and nearby objects, putting you at serious risk. If you encounter a downed power line:
-Stop and stay in your vehicle
-Call 911
-Warn others to keep their distance

⚡🌎 Bringing Power & Hope to Guatemala 🌎⚡

This spring, Edgecombe-Martin County EMC’s Sammy Clark joined 15 volunteer lineworkers from across North Carolina on a mission to bring electricity to the village of El Plan Nuevo Amanecer in Guatemala — for the very first time.

From framing poles to building more than three miles of line completely by hand, the team helped bring power to more than 50 homes, a school, two churches and the community’s only health clinic. 💡

“This project reflects the heart of the cooperative spirit — neighbors helping neighbors, no matter the distance,” said CEO Winston Howell. “We are incredibly proud of Sammy for using his skills to help bring electricity, opportunity and hope to families in Guatemala.”

This effort was part of the Brighter World Initiative, led by North Carolina’s electric cooperatives in partnership with NRECA International, helping bring first-time access to electricity to underserved communities around the world.

Electricity will now help improve education opportunities, increase safety after dark, support small businesses and create new opportunities for families throughout the village.

To celebrate the completion of the project, volunteers and community members gathered for a special ribbon-cutting ceremony at the village school — marking a life-changing milestone for El Plan Nuevo Amanecer. ❤️🔌
