PORTLAND — Pacific Power is monitoring an approaching storm that could impact customers in parts of Oregon, Northern California and Washington later this week. The weather forecast indicates the potential for high winds, lightning, rain and hail from Wednesday into Thursday, which could lead to power outages.
Pacific Power’s meteorology team is closely monitoring the storm, and crews are on standby and ready to respond to weather-related outages.
Pacific Power encourages customers to always be prepared for outages and supports state and local emergency management organizations, who recommend Oregonians and Californians have an emergency plan for up to 72 hours without essential services.
Here are some simple steps customers can take to prepare and stay informed:
Visit PacificPower.net/Outages for restoration estimates.
As a reminder, stay away from all downed power lines and utility lines. Even if the lines are not sparking, they could be energized and extremely dangerous. Customers should avoid both downed trees and power lines and keep pets far away from those areas.
Call 911 and report the outage to Pacific Power at 1-877-508-5088.
