Public Safety Awareness
At Alabama Power, nothing is more important than safety. We want everyone to be safe – our customers, our employees, our neighbors, and their children. That is why we have several programs and initiatives to share electrical safety tips.
Electricity does a lot of wonderful things and makes our lives easier and more comfortable. However, electricity is powerful and travels at the speed of light. So, we won’t get a second chance around electricity, and we must always be safe around it.
Would you know what to do:
- If a power line fell on your vehicle or school bus
- If a power line fell on your fence
- If a tree is near a power line
- If you saw someone getting shocked or electrocuted
- If you came across downed power lines
If you’re not sure, our safety programs address all this and more!

Safe-T-Opolis
This free virtual program is presented to students in our service territory, showing them how to be safe around electricity and how to avoid hazardous situations. This 45-minute program teaches valuable information that could very well mean the difference between life and death. These safety messages are reinforced in a fun video game called Power Play. Afterwards, classes will receive the game link so the children can access Power Play as often as they like.
