Powertown: Electric Safety Education
Understanding electrical safety helps protect our entire community. OMU’s Powertown program makes learning about electricity and its potential hazards engaging and accessible for all ages.
This free, interactive presentation covers how electricity reaches your home, how to recognize electrical hazards, and what to do in an emergency. Led by members of OMU’s electric transmission team, Powertown is especially valuable for helping students build safe habits around electricity.
