PSO Urges Storm Preparation as Severe Weather Forecast for Oklahoma
Severe weather is in the Friday forecast for Oklahoma including hail and tornadoes.
It has the Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) recognizing Oklahoma Severe Weather Awareness Week by encouraging customers to take proactive steps to stay safe and prepared.
PSO is also monitoring the potential for severe weather across the service area this week. Severe thunderstorms, large hail, high winds, and isolated tornadoes could cause power outages.
PSO Monitoring Severe Weather Threat
“We’re always monitoring weather conditions and preparing our system to handle whatever Oklahoma’s spring might bring,” said Dwayne Apple, PSO Vice President of Distribution Operations. “Now is a great time to review your emergency plans, check your supplies, and make sure your loved ones and neighbors are ready too.”
Storm Drill Held to Prepare Crews
PSO recently held a comprehensive storm drill to prepare employees for the unique challenges of Oklahoma’s weather.
The exercise brought together teams from across the company to practice real-time response activities — including weather forecasting, resource management, and restoration planning — all designed to ensure PSO can respond safely and quickly when storms strike.
By refining processes and applying lessons from past events, PSO strengthens its ability to deliver reliable electric service during the region’s most active storm months.
