ALERT

Close Alert

Dangerous storms may cause outages this weekend

Dangerous severe weather is predicted for our area this weekend, particularly for Saturday afternoon and evening. Remember it's wise to have multiple, reliable ways of getting weather alerts. Weather apps are great, but the NOAA Weather Radios work even when cell towers are down and/or the power is out. CEC is prepared to respond 24/7 in the event of power outages. If we experience severe damage to our electric distribution system, restoration times could take longer but you can rest assure our crews will be working as safely and quickly as possible to restore service. Please remind others to ALWAYS stay far away from downed power lines and also stay away from downed trees that could have power lines intertwined and are not easily seen. Safety is our first priority and that goes for our employees, our CEC members and the public at large. Stay weather aware this weekend and if you experience a power outage, or see a hazard relating to any part of our system, please call 800-239-1193 or use the free CEC app to report it. We say this all the time, but please do NOT use social media to report a power outage or hazard. Thank you.
