More Personnel Arrive To Assist Power Restoration To JCP&L Customers Following Hurricane Sandy, Nor'easter

To report an outage, customers should call 1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877).  If power has been restored to your neighbors, but your power remains out, be sure to report the outage.  The issue could be isolated to an individual home and require further repairs.

To ensure the safety of the home's occupants as well as that of utility company employees who may be working on power lines in the area, the proper generator should be selected and installed by a qualified electrician.  When operating a generator, always disconnect the power coming into the home.  Otherwise, power from the generator could be sent back onto the utility company lines, creating a hazardous situation for utility workers.
