A high-wind advisory is in effect for today until 1 PM Thursday. Residents should anticipate strong to potentially damaging winds, with speeds reaching 45 to 50 mph, primarily expected tonight.
Please be cautious and remember:
- Avoid unnecessary outdoor activities. Falling tree limbs and other wind-blown debris can cause serious injuries or death. The safest place to be is indoors.
- Any downed wire should be treated as though it is a live wire. Therefore, do not approach or drive over it, or touch anything it’s contacting.
- Report a downed wire immediately to 911 or call PSEG at 1-800-490-0075. Do not text or email PSEG for downed wires. Doing that only slows down the response.
- IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY CALL 911. DO NOT CALL THE LOCAL POLICE PRECINCT DIRECTLY. THIS ONLY SLOWS DOWN THE RESPONSE TIME.
- To report an electrical outage and receive status updates text “OUT” to PSEGLI (773454). You can also report your outage through PESGLI’s app or website at www.psegliny.com/outages
