    As the storm’s track continues to evolve, PSE&G* has activated its storm response plan and positioned additional crews and resources throughout our service territory. We are closely monitoring the forecast and are prepared to respond safely and efficiently should heavy rain, gusty winds or other severe weather conditions result in power outages.

Our customer-facing teams and communications channels will also remain active to provide customers with timely information as conditions change.

    We are encouraging customers to prepare now by charging essential devices, securing outdoor items and ensuring they have flashlights and fresh batteries available. Customers should always stay at least 30 feet away from downed power lines and assume they are energized. Those who rely on electrically powered medical equipment should have a backup plan in the event of an outage.
