Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) is closely monitoring the
developing weather conditions associated with the predicted snow storm.
JCP&L is prepared to activate its storm response plan should power outages
occur.
In the event outages occur, customers without power are encouraged to call
1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877) to report their outage, or click the “Report
Outage” link on www.firstenergycorp.com. In the event of
severe weather, customers should immediately report downed wires to
1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877), or call their local police or fire
department.
JCP&L reminds customers to stay away from downed wires, even if they
believe they are no longer carrying electricity. Extra caution should be
used in areas where downed lines are tangled with trees or other debris.
Motorists are cautioned to treat intersections with inoperable traffic
signals as four-way stops.
JCP&L customers can subscribe to email and text message alert notifications
to receive weather updates in advance of major storms, restoration updates when
they have reported their power outage and more. Customers can also use
two-way text messaging to report outages, request updates on restoration
efforts and make other inquiries about their accounts. More information
about these communication tools is available at www.firstenergycorp.com/connect.
