If your power is out
- Stay away from downed lines and anything touching them. Call 911.
- Report it to your own utility. The name and outage phone number are on your electric bill. Do not assume a neighbor has reported it.
- Check your utility's outage page for the area affected and any restoration estimate. Only your utility can give that estimate.
