Rocky Mountain Power crews prepare for weather related impacts

SALT LAKE CITY — Rocky Mountain Power crews will be on standby this weekend, as weather forecasts indicate high winds and snow that could cause weather-related outages at higher elevations.

“Our teams thoroughly prepare when forecasts indicate severe weather could impact our customers,” said Curtis Mansfield, Rocky Mountain Power senior vice president of power delivery. “Restoration crews and equipment will be ready to go in the event of any outages caused by the incoming storm.”

The company urges customers to follow recommendations of local and state emergency management officials in being prepared to be without essential public services for up to 72 hours. Additional information about preparing for outages and what to do if an outage occurs is available at RockyMountainPower.net/Prepare.

As a reminder, treat all downed wires as live and dangerous. Customers should avoid both downed trees and powerlines as well as keep pets far away from those areas.

It is important for all customers to report power outages as it assists crews in pinpointing the cause and facilitates restoration efforts. Customers can call Customer Care at 877-508-5088, use the Rocky Mountain Power app, or text out to 759677 and receive updates during the restoration process.
