By Belize Live News Staff: With Tropical Storm Sara poised to strike Belize within the next 24 hours, Belize Electricity Limited (BEL) is stepping up its preparedness efforts to mitigate the storm’s impact on the national power grid. The company has mobilized teams and resources, aiming to ensure swift recovery from any potential damage.
BEL officials highlighted that adverse weather conditions such as high winds and lightning often lead to power outages. Protection devices on the power system may activate automatically to safeguard both the network and customer equipment.
The utility company cautioned that power restoration efforts will only commence once it is safe for field teams to operate. Additionally, BEL may disconnect power in certain areas as a precautionary measure to eliminate hazards.
Residents are urged to remain vigilant and report power line issues using BEL’s hotline or through its digital platforms. BEL emphasized its commitment to keeping the public informed via its 24-7 App, SMS, and social media channels, while asking for patience as its teams respond to emergency reports during the storm.
