Heavy rain and potential flooding expected

We’re preparing for the impacts of Tropical Storm Debby, which is expected to bring heavy rain, potential flooding, and possible severe weather to our entire NYSEG service area on Thursday and Friday.

Our teams have been closely monitoring weather forecasts, strategically planning and readying our crews and equipment. To prepare, we have pre-staged approximately 170 additional line crews and 80 additional tree crews across the state to assist with restoration efforts should outages occur.

We urge you to monitor weather forecasts and prepare as well. Here are some easy ways to stay informed:

If we have a current cell phone number associated with your account, and you have not previously opted out, you will receive outage alert texts automatically.
