New Jersey's elected officials are working hard to make sure residents aren't left in the dark during emergencies... and they need your help!

We learned a lot from Hurricane Sandy this past November. Record breaking power outages throughout New Jersey put our utility companies to the test. The New Jersey Utilities Emergency Preparedness Initiative is advocating, from the grassroots local level, for state-wide legislative fixes to ensure our utility companies are better prepared for the next storm, and that the incredibly hardworking utility workers and first responders have the tools they need to keep their communities safe and get them back online.


We need to improve

  • The Communication Practices By Utility Companies
    Residents and local governments need better, more reliable and consistent information about what's happening during emergency situations.
  • How Outages & Restorations Are Managed
    We need to work with our County Office's of Emergency Management to improve how utility companies assign and handle jobs, especially critical fixes and especially when using out of state workers.
  • How We Invest In Our Power Infrastructure
    We need to invest in more in our infrastructure, from substations, to pole construction to proper vegetation trimming to reduce the number of lines that go down during extreme weather conditions and improve the redundancy of our grids.
