Tips for storm season

With storm season upon us, we wanted to provide you with some tips to be prepared.  

  • Download the myPSE app to track and report outages, check status and get estimated restoration times, or visit PSE.com/OutageMap.
  • Make sure to have emergency supplies on hand at home and in your vehicle, such as extra batteries, flashlights, and food.
  • Charge cell phones, laptops, and other devices in case the power goes out. 
  • Avoid opening and closing refrigerators and freezers more often than necessary. A closed refrigerator will stay cold for up to 12 hours.
  • Turn off lights and unplug all appliances and/or sensitive electronic equipment, such as computers, to prevent an overload on your circuits when electric service is restored.
  • Leave one light on to let you know when service returns.
