A powerful Nor'Easter starting on Wednesday late morning and ending on Thursday is forecast to bring 12"-18" of snow as well as 20-35mph winds, which can bring down power lines and tree limbs. It is important to take time NOW to prepare and make sure you have essentials ready.

What you can do now:

  • Be ready to communicate about your situation.
  • Make sure you have a family emergency plan.
  • Charge your phones, tablets, power backups and other mobile devices.
  • If your mobile service provides a “hotspot” for areas without internet access, learn how to use it.

  • Go to pseg.com/outagecenter to check the “Outage Map,” which is updated every 15 minutes with PSE&G outage information, and to register for MyAlerts to receive text notifications.
  • You can report an outage by texting “OUT” to 4PSEG (47734) or via Alexa or Google Assistant.
  • The new PSE&G mobile app enables customers using Apple or Android devices to securely and easily manage their accounts when and where the customers want to be served.

Stay away from downed wires:
