With severe weather potentially set to strike the Midwest on Wednesday, ComEd is urging residents to take safety precautions, and is positioning assets in the field to quickly respond to any power outages.
According to the Storm Prediction Center, parts of the Chicago area are under an “enhanced risk” of severe weather, with the main threats coming in the form of torrential downpours and dangerous straight-line winds.
Those winds could potentially impact power grids, knocking down power lines and tree branches, and as a result ComEd issued a press release announcing that it will active its Emergency Operations Center on Wednesday. The utility will also position additional equipment and crews throughout the state to deal with power outages.
