Jersey
Central Power & Light (JCP&L) meteorologists are closely monitoring the
developing weather conditions. JCP&L is prepared to activate its storm
response and Incident Command System plans.
In the event
outages occur due to severe weather, customers without power are encouraged to
report their outage by calling 1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877), clicking the
“Report Outage” link on www.firstenergycorp.com, or by texting

Customers
should immediately report downed wires to 1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877) or
call their local police 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.
