With more rain on the way, now is time to make sure you and your family are prepared for the forecasted wet and windy conditions.
At SDG&E we’re monitoring the storm and working to prevent storm-related service interruptions, but it is important to be prepared for power outages.
During a power outage here some quick safety tips to follow:
- Use a flashlight—instead of candles—for light
- If using a standby generator follow these safety tips
- Turn off major appliances like dishwashers or televisions that were running when the power went out to prevent them from starting unexpectedly when power is restored
- Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed to keep food fresh
- Leave one light on so you know when power is restored
Remember to check our online outage map or mobile app for the latest information.
Power line safety reminder
Fallen electric lines are extremely dangerous. If you see any downed lines:
- Stay clear and do not touch the line or any other equipment
- Call 911 and SDG&E at 800-611-SDGE (7343) to report the incident
- Always assume that power lines are energized
- If a person or animal has come into contact with a power line, do not touch them or any equipment involved—the line may still be energized and dangerous
