During a Power Outage 

• Contact your electric utility service provider to inform them of an outage.Below is the contact information for the investor-owned utilities regulated by the PUC. If uncertain which utility serves your area, find your utility. 
  • Portland General Electric – 800-544-1795
  • Pacific Power – 877-508-5088
  • Idaho Power – 800-488-6151
• Avoid downed power lines at all costs
• Stay clear of utility crews working to restore service in your community.
• Use flashlights or battery-operated lanterns for emergency lighting.Do not use candles or other potential fire hazards. 
• Turn off lights and unplug electric appliances except for the refrigerator and freezer to help avoid a surge to the system when service is restored. After turning off all the lights, turn one light on to know when power has been restored.
• Use generators safely. Do not run the generator inside the home or garage or anywhere near a window or vent, as these spaces can capture deadly levels of carbon monoxide.
• Check on elderly neighbors or individuals with special needs who might need additional assistance.
