Remember – during an emergency is not the time to make important decisions. Emergencies can happen at any time, and being prepared helps build confidence that you and your family will be safe.
Here are our tips to prepare for you or a loved one with special needs before a storm or other emergency.
How to prepare at home
Learn the resources in your community.
Alert us if life-sustaining equipment is used
If you (or a member of your household) rely on electricity to operate life-sustaining equipment, such as a respirator or dialysis machine, it is important that you notify PSE&G. Download the Critical Care application or learn how to apply online.
When the risk of power outages is high due to forecasted severe weather, we will notify you by telephone of the potential for outages and the need for a contingency plan. To update your contact information, login to My Account at pseg.com, hover over the My Account tab, and click on “My Profile” or call 1-800-436-PSEG (7734). TDD/TYY contact number (800) 225-0072
At all times, if you believe you are experiencing or will experience a medical emergency, you should call 9-1-1 immediately.
