PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) – PGE is encouraging its customers to get ready for the upcoming conditions.

Utility crews are getting ready themselves. Among other things, they are preparing for downed power lines and widespread outages.

They are asking people to create an outage kit that includes flashlights, a battery-powered or hand-crank radio, and an alarm clock or watch.

More resources can be found on PGE’s website. 

PGE also wants to remind people to stay away from downed power lines and always assume they are dangerous, if people see one they should call PGE and 911.
