The Brownsville Public Utilities Board (PUB) is advising residents to prepare for potential power outages following recent storm repairs that left thousands without electricity. The outages, affecting around 25,000 customers, were linked to work on transmission lines damaged by storms. PUB spokesman David Garza recommended disconnecting electronics during outages to prevent damage from surges and suggested purchasing surge protectors. Additionally, the board urged residents to assemble storm safety kits ahead of hurricane season, including flashlights and outdoor generators for future emergencies.
