Safety is our number one priority. If you lose power, keep these tips in mind:
- Stay away from downed power lines and assume they are energized.
- Report an outage on the myEntergy site or call 1-800-9OUTAGE. There is no need to speak with a representative to report outages if completed online.
- Use your portable generator safely. DO NOT run it in enclosed spaces. Only connect your generator to the whole house if the connection was installed by a licensed electrician. This prevents back feed to the distribution system.
- Minimize opening refrigerator or freezer doors to keep food cold for longer.
- Please stay clear of line workers as they work to safely restore power.
- Don't walk or drive through flood waters. Just six inches of moving water can knock you down, and one foot of water can sweep your vehicle away.
