Preparing to Respond Updated Sep 25, 9:25 AM

We’re preparing for power outages.

Wind and rain are expected Friday as an unseasonably strong weather system moves through the region. With trees and vegetation still fully leafed out, winds may bring branches and trees into power lines, potentially causing outages.

We understand how difficult it is to be without power. Our teams are ready to respond and crews will remain in the field to assess damage and restore power as long as it is safe. If your power goes out, we'll work around the clock to restore it as quickly and safely as possible.

As we get ready, we encourage our customers to do the same:

Charge cell phones and other essential devices.
Make sure you have emergency supplies at home and in your vehicle, including flashlights, extra batteries, food, water and blankets.
Have a battery-powered radio ready to go.

Safety first:

Never touch or go within 35 feet of downed power lines because they might be energized.
Call PSE at 1-888-225-5773 or 911 to report problems.
If you’re using portable heaters, keep them away from furniture, draperies and other flammable materials.
Always use flashlights instead of candles.
Be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning: Never install or use a generator indoors or in enclosed or partially enclosed areas, even those that are ventilated.
