Potential Gulf Coast Tropical Cyclone
(Gulf Coast, TX) – Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) has been closely monitoring the
potential impact of a tropical cyclone threatening the Gulf Coast service territory. In
response, TNMP has activated its Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and entered
“Enhanced Activation Mode” to ensure preparedness and swift action.
TNMP has thoroughly assessed its line crew and tree crew requirements. Internal
teams from North and Central Texas are on standby, ready to be deployed as
necessary. Additionally, external tree contractors are on standby to provide support if
needed.
In collaboration with the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), TNMP is
actively participating in regular meetings and will adapt its response based on evolving
conditions. Our primary commitment remains the safety and reliability of service for our
customers during this critical time.
What Customers Can Do:
TNMP urges customers to recognize that a storm can cause significant damage and
prolonged electricity outages. Conditions can change unexpectedly, sometimes
worsening rapidly.

https://outagemap.tnmp.com. You can also report outages by calling 888-866-
7456 and selecting Option 1. - Customers are encouraged to sign up for outage alerts by clicking “Sign Up for

Customers with Critical Needs:
TNMP advises customers who rely on electricity for life-sustaining equipment to arrange
for on-site backup capabilities or other alternatives, as we cannot guarantee an
uninterrupted power supply.
During both pre-storm preparations and post-storm recovery efforts, TNMP urges all
customers to stay informed about weather conditions and heed warnings or advisories
from local authorities. Important updates will be provided by local news outlets
regarding ongoing conditions and recovery efforts.
