What to do now
- Report your outage to AEP Texas even if neighbors already have: AEP Texas outage reporting. Reports on Outage Desk do not reach the utility.
- Stay away from downed wires and anything touching them. Call 911 if a wire is down.
- Generators go outside only, at least 20 feet from doors and windows, never in a garage. Carbon monoxide poisoning is one of the leading causes of death after storms.
- Keep the fridge and freezer closed. Food in a closed fridge stays safe about 4 hours; a full freezer about 48 hours.
- Long outages: some utilities reimburse spoiled food and medicine after extended outages. Check AEP Texas's claims page for current rules before you throw anything away.
