If a member of your household depends on medical equipment for life support, notify the REA office at once; do not wait for an emergency.
Electrical Safety in the Classroom
Every year, Red River Valley REA attempts to visit as many 4th grade classrooms in our five-county service territory as possible. During our 50 minute presentation, we are able to provide an important electrical safety message to the children and turn them into well-educated, safety rangers.
A typical presentation will start with the introduction of our company and what services we offer to the area. After we are more familiar with each other, the children watch a 15-minute video that includes kids that are about the same age and who are learning about electricity in a classroom setting. After the video, the students are given a live demonstration of simple electrical circuits and electrical safety around the home.
Teachers are given a packet of information to distribute that usually includes a color/activity booklet about electrical safety, a pencil, stickers, etc., so they can take their new knowledge of Electrical Safety home to their family and share it with them.
This program is available anytime during the school year, however, most schools schedule in the spring semester. If you are a 4th-grade teacher in any of the school systems in Love, Marshall, Johnston, Carter, and Jefferson counties, please contact Wesley Elmore, Director of Loss Control, at (580) 276-3364, or email at wesleye@rrvrea.com.
Electrical Safety in the Community
Electrical Safety programs are also available for presentation to your company, organization or volunteer group. Volunteer fire departments can benefit greatly by understanding the dangers of electricity in a structure fire.
If your organization is interested in scheduling an Electrical Safety program, please contact Wesley Elmore, Director of Loss Control at (580) 276-3364, or email at wesleye@rrvrea.com.
