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. Remember, always stay away from downed power lines and call 911 to report them.

If you lose power, please call CL&P at (800) 286-2000. You can also report your power outage here. For outage information in your town, text "outage" and your zip code to 24612.
