STORM ALERT: How to Prepare for Hurricane Sandy & Report Power Outages
How to Report Power Outages and Downed Power Lines
In preparation for Hurricane Sandy, expected to hit New Jersey early next week, local utility companies have provided information on how customers can stay safe and report power disruptions and downed power lines.
PSE&G Customers:
To report downed wires or power outages, customers should call PSE&G’s Customer Service line at 1-800-436-PSEG. PSE&G uses an automated system to handle customer calls as efficiently as possible. Customers who get an automated response when calling PSE&G are encouraged to use it, as it is designed to route their calls to the right destination quickly. The system also provides the option to speak directly to a customer service representative. If you have specific information regarding damage to wires, transformers or poles, we ask that you speak with a representative to provide that information.
Customers with a handheld device, or who are at an alternate location with
power, can also report power outages and view the status of their outage by

service territory is available online at www.pseg.com/outagecenter and updates are posted on
pseg.com during severe weather.
In addition, if outages are widespread, the utility will activate its Twitter page to keep the public informed about our restoration progress. Sign up as a follower at http://twitter.com/psegdelivers to monitor restoration progress.
