Storm Safety: Learn how to stay safe before, during, and after a storm

• Downed wires should always be considered "live." Stay at least 30 feet away from downed lines, and don't go near the pole or anything touching the line. Immediately contact PSE&G, at 1-800-436-PSEG (7734),via our mobile app or our website, to report downed wires and dial 911 if an immediate hazard exists.
• Electric current passes easily through water, so stay away from downed power lines and electrical wires. Don't drive over - and don't stand near - downed power lines.
• Downed lines can potentially be hidden in standing water. If you encounter large pools of standing water, stop, back up and choose another path.
• To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, do not run any gasoline-powered generators in a garage or any other enclosed space.
• If you are on life-sustaining medical equipment, ensure that you alert PSE&G in advance and notify your local police and fire departments. For more information, visit www.pseg.com/life.

• Know how to open your garage door without electricity.
• Plan where and how you would evacuate.
