SAFETY TIP: Portable space heaters can be a convenient way to stay warm, but safety is essential when using them. Always place heaters on a flat, stable surface and keep them at least three feet away from flammable items like curtains, bedding, or furniture. Plug space heaters directly into wall outlets—never into extension cords—and turn them off before leaving the room or going to sleep. A little caution can go a long way in keeping you and your loved ones safe this winter.

El Paso Electric Supports Extreme Weather Task Force with Blanket Donation

El Paso Electric partnered with the Extreme Weather Task Force once again to help protect vulnerable individuals and families during the winter season. This year, EPE donated $5,000 worth of warm blankets to assist families in staying safe and comfortable during colder weather.

The Extreme Weather Task Force plays a vital role in the community by collecting and distributing blankets to elderly and low-income families. Many families, particularly those in the Colonias, lack heat sources in their homes, leaving the elderly and children especially at risk.

Through this ongoing partnership, El Paso Electric remains committed to supporting the community and helping those most in need during extreme weather conditions.
