Stay weather aware, monitor local media and have multiple ways to receive severe weather alerts. Check on neighbors and elderly or vulnerable residents.
Register for MyOncor Alerts by texting “REG” to 66267, download the MyOncor App and follow Oncor on Facebook and X.
If you see a downed power line, stay away, keep people and pets away and call 911 immediately.
To find warming centers opened and operated by local officials, visit tdem.texas.gov/warm. Locations and availability may change. For the latest information, please call 211 or check your city and county webpages.
Helpful individual and family resources are available on the TDEM Disaster Portal.
Even experienced drivers can lose control on ice, and stopping distances can increase by up to ten times, causing vehicles to slide without warning. For those who must travel, check road conditions at DriveTexas.org and review TXDOT’s Safety Guide for Winter Travel. Use extra caution on bridges, ramps, overpasses, and shaded areas as they tend to freeze first.
While prioritized during power restoration events, critical care designations do not guarantee an uninterrupted power supply, especially during severe weather. Customers who rely on electricity for life-saving medical devices should have a plan in case of power outages. Anyone experiencing an emergency event should call 911 immediately.
If possible, bring pets inside during cold weather. If pets must be outside, ensure they have adequate shelter and access to non-frozen drinking water. Move other animals or livestock to sheltered areas and also make sure they have access to non-frozen drinking water.
