Few power outages had been reported early Thursday morning, but are always a possibility. Customers should report downed wires or power outages by calling PSE&G's customer service line at 1-800-436-PSEG. Also, customers can report outages at www.pseg.com or by texting "OUT" to 4PSEG (47734), and can check the PSE&G "Outage Map" here.
PSE&G urges its customers to be cautious during and after the storm, and offered the following advice:

• Downed wires should always be considered "live." Do not approach or drive over a downed line and do not touch anything that it might be in contact with.
• To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, do not run any gasoline powered engine, including generators and snowblowers, in a garage or any other enclosed space.

"Although we prepare our system for bad weather year-round, we take every storm with the potential for outages seriously," said John Latka, senior vice president of electric and gas operations for PSE&G. "We have additional personnel scheduled and on standby, with auxiliary equipment at the ready for this first storm of 2018."
