Otay Mesa Braces for Powerful Winter Storm?
1/23/2024 (Permalink)
Although Otay Mesa has a temperature climate, powerful storms do blow in and cause property damage and power outages. Our local Otay Mesa/San Ysidro team responds to storm damage emergencies every year and offers these tips for staying safe during a power outage from the San Diego Gas & Electric Company:
- Check whether the outage is limited to your home as soon as it occurs. If there is a problem with your breaker, one or more of the switches may be turned off. Simply turn it back on and power should be restored.
- If your neighbors don’t have power either, report the outage with our easy-to-use mobile app or call us at 1-800-411-SDGE.
- To avoid an overload, unplug TVs, appliances, and electronics, and turn off light switches, but leave one light on somewhere you’re going to see it when the power comes back on.
- Use flashlights or a bright lantern rather than candles, as they can tip over and cause a fire.
- Refrain from opening your fridge or freezer door—you let cold air out, and your food won’t be re-cooled until the power is restored.
- Visit our outage map to view up-to-date outages in your area, and check updates and restoration times.
