Horizon Networks wishes to advise customers that we are monitoring the severe weather front closely. Additional staff have been engaged to assist in the event that the impact of the predicted front is greater than expected.

In the event of power outages, Horizon Networks advises all customers to contact their retailers in the first instance and to treat ALL lines as live at ALL times.

The severe weather sends a timely reminder to customers to ensure trees do not encroach near power lines. Should you be reliant on electricity for medical support equipment, please contact your medical provider for advice in preparation for any emergencies.
