Thursday, March 2, 2023 by Elizabeth Pagano
With a forecast through Friday that includes wind gusts up to 50 mph during a time when ice-storm-damaged trees are still widespread throughout the city, Austin Energy is preparing crews to respond to potential outages caused by weather and downed limbs. Austin Energy customers can report outages through Austin Energy’s Outage Map, by texting OUT to 287846, or by calling 512-322-9100. Austin Energy has also compiled a list of ways to stay safe during an outage and around downed power lines, and how to prepare for the power going out.
