We have plans in place for reacting to severe weather. We urge our customers to have a plan, too.

We stay prepared to respond to storm outages through a very detailed, rehearsed plan that has worked well for us during past storm events. We have brought in external contract restoration workers to help us restore service outages caused by these storms.

Power is restored faster in areas with less damage. Some of the hardest-hit areas may take longer, which should be factored into your personal storm plan. Remember, safety first.

Once the storm passes, we can fully assess the damage and will have more information to share.
