Any storm could result in power outages, so we urge all customers to be prepared with a "Lights Out" kit containing a flashlight, fresh water, prescription medicine, prepared foods, cash and other items needed when the lights go out. It's also wise to fill your car's gas tank.

If you lose power, call CL&P at 800-286-2000 (860-947-2000 in the Hartford/Meriden area). You may also report your power outage electronically.

Stay away from downed power lines. Call 911 to report them.
