@meslackman Hi Michael,

After a storm, it can take time to travel to each location, assess the damage and provide estimates. Crews may run into an unexpected issue or a specialized crew may be needed to make repairs. We aim to keep customers informed and will share updates on our maps.

[JCP&L @JCP_L]

@muydess Hi there,

You can send us a DM with the confirmation number or service address and we will be happy to further review.

Thank you!

⚡If operating a generator, locate it outside and away from windows/doors/vents + power coming into the home should always be disconnected to prevent power from the generator going back onto utility lines, creating a dangerous situation for workers. More: https://t.co/Nck6Vi5cSU

[JCP&L @JCP_L]

We appreciate your patience as we work to complete these restoration efforts as fast as safely possible!

[JCP&L @JCP_L]

Crews have continued to make progress throughout the day, having now restored approximately 94% of the 52,000 customers affected by last night's storms. JCP&L crews, joined by hundreds of contractors, will continue their around-the-clock efforts overnight -

[JCP&L @JCP_L]

Estimated restoration times are available at: https://t.co/Ex6hTlXB2Z and will continue to be updated as crews make progress on repairs. The majority of the damage is tree-related, making for some of the most time-consuming, labor-intensive repairs.

[JCP&L @JCP_L]

⚠ Assume downed power lines are live + dangerous
⚠ Stay 30+ ft from downed lines and anything they might be touching
⚠ Be careful where lines are tangled in trees or debris
⚠ Never remove debris from equipment
⚠ Never drive over a downed line
📞 Report ASAP to 911

@shaedaniels608 Hi Shae,

If you haven't done so already, please call 888-544-4877 or 9-1-1 to report downed wires. Treat all downed wires as live and dangerous and stay at least 30 feet away until a trouble crew has investigated the issue. Stay safe and thank you for your patience.

[JCP&L @JCP_L]

After a storm, we first clear hazards like downed lines. Once it's safe, we assess damage so our crews can make repairs. Then:

1️⃣ High-voltage lines that provide electricity to local lines
2️⃣ Public service facilities
3️⃣ Outages with the most customers
4️⃣ Individual customers
