The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for locations in our service area from Saturday afternoon to Sunday morning, with southeast to southwest winds forecasted including gusts up to 50 mph.

We have been watching the forecast closely and preparing for stormy weather. Our Emergency Coordination Center and local storm bases are staffed and ready to open and crews will deploy with assignments as it’s safe to do so.

We know how disruptive power outages can be. We appreciate your patience and will be working to restore power as quickly as we safely can. 

As we prepare for storm conditions, we encourage our customers to do the same: 

  • Make sure to have emergency supplies on hand at home and in your vehicle, such as extra batteries, flashlights, food and blankets 
  • Have a battery-powered radio ready to go 
  • Charge cell phones and mobile devices in case the power goes out 
 

alert 

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. When using your generator outdoors during a power outage, avoid placing it near windows, doors and vents. More generator safety tips: pse.com/en/pages/generator-safety  
    • Never use a natural gas range for heating, or charcoal as an indoor heating or cooking source.
    • Additional carbon monoxide safety information: pse.com/en/pages/carbon-monoxide

  • Never charge your phone or other devices in a running vehicle with the garage door closed.

  • Make sure that natural gas appliances are maintained and operated according to manufacturer recommendations.
