JAKARTA - The 2023 Christmas and New Year holidays are in sight. Approaching the end of the year, people usually spend time in their hometowns or on vacations to tourism places.

PT PLN (Persero) appealed to the public to ensure that the electricity of the house is in a safe condition when abandoned. That way, people can be comfortable and calm when traveling.

This is to avoid unwanted things. With a safe electrical system, people can rest in their hometowns or at tourist attractions," said PLN's Executive Vice President for Corporate Communications and TJSL, Gregorius Adi Trianto in his statement.

Here are four tips for safe leaving the house while on vacation:

1. Unplug the unused electronic equipment from the electrical plug.Make sure you remove the electrical equipment that is not used to make it safer from the possibility of a short circuit.

2. Turn on the lighting as needed. It is important to maintain lighting in some parts such as the terrace, center and back of the house so that the situation remains monitored, especially for those who install surveillance cameras (cctv).

3. Fill in the electricity bill token/pay. For people who want to leave the house, make sure the electricity is safe. For prepaid customers, fill in the electricity token first before traveling. Likewise for postpaid customers, first pay the electricity bill before leaving the house. This is to avoid blackouts.

4. Leave it to neighbors or report to the local RT. If there are neighbors who do not travel, they should ask for help to oversee the house. Or you can report to the head of the local RT. This is also important to ensure the safety of the house.
