In extreme weather or significant outage events, the PUD’s facebook and Twitter feeds will also share updates.

NOTE: a customer’s estimated time of restoration (ETR) may change based on an outage’s extent and complexity. In widespread outage events, ETRs may be unavailable if damage is significant.

The PUD works 24/7 during storms. In the event of widespread outages, restoration efforts are prioritized as follows:

• Hospitals, schools, airports and other critical business operations
• Large outages impacting entire neighborhoods
• Smaller outages impacting a few homes
• Street lights
