## Resource

Spot a dangling wire? Don’t panic—most aren’t power lines. Hawaiian Electric explains that many reports are actually about telecom lines (for phone, internet, cable) which hang lower and look different. Power lines are thinner, higher up, and have insulators; telecom lines are thicker, bundled, and wrapped. Knowing the difference gets the right crew fast and keeps everyone safe. For downed power lines, call Hawaiian Electric’s 24/7 numbers by island: Oahu 1-800-553-0412, Maui 1-800-553-0481, Hawaii Island 1-800-553-0491. For telecom lines, contact Hawaiian Telecom at 808-643-6111 or Spectrum at 833-949-0036. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
