High Wind Warnings In Effect Until Saturday Morning In Township Of Clark

Press release from the Township of Clark:

April 30, 2021

PSE&G issued the following advisory to area customers for today and tomorrow.

“The unpredictable nature of spring weather continues with strong winds forecasted for today into tomorrow morning. Powerful wind gusts may cause tree limbs to break and pull-down wires, causing outages.

PSE&G is prepared to respond safely and as quickly as possible to restore power if outages occur. We also encourage you to prepare for these conditions and contact us immediately if you experience a power outage. Learn how you can stay connected through our many options detailed below.

Be prepared:

• 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.
• Review our storm preparation tips.

Be safe:

• Stay away from downed wires. Downed wires should always be considered live. Stay at least 30 feet away from downed power lines and immediately call PSE&G at 1-800-436-PSEG (7734) or 911 to report downed wires.
• To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, do not run any gasoline-powered generators in a garage or other enclosed space.

If you (or a member of your household) rely on electricity to operate life-sustaining equipment, please notify PSE&G. To learn more, visit pseg.com/life or call 1-800-436-PSEG (7734).”
