Useful Information & Reminders from JCP&L |
-If you are without power, don't rely on your neighbors to report it. Customer outage reports help JCP&L crews pinpoint damage + restore power faster. The more info they have, the better!
-Steer clear of downed power lines. Always assume they are live + dangerous. Report asap, via 9-1-1
