We monitor local weather reports regularly and if severe storms are forecasted to hit, we follow the advice of local emergency management officials. We follow a strategic response plan to restore service, addressing live wires or potentially life-threatening situations first, followed by high-voltage transmission lines and equipment, which restore service to the largest number of affected customers. We also prioritize public health and safety facilities, like hospitals, police and fire stations and water treatment plants and work to restore service in your community safely and as quickly as possible. To learn more about our restoration process, visit atlanticcityelectric.com/Restoration.
