safety is our number one priority. if you lose power:
- stay away from downed power lines and assume they are energized. report them to 1-800-9outage.
- report your power outage online to entergy new orleans or call 1-800-9outage. there is no need to speak with a customer service representative to report an outage if completed online.
- if you have a portable generator, use it safely. do not run it in an enclosed space. if connecting to the whole house, do so only if the connection has been installed by a licensed electrician to prevent back feed on to the distribution system.
- if you do lose power, do not open your refrigerator or freezer door. food will stay cold much longer this way. if outside temperature is below freezing, consider placing food in an ice chest outside.
- please stay clear of linemen as they work to safely restore power
- customers without power can help in the restoration process by turning off major appliances but leaving on a lamp or other light to indicate when power is restored. then, gradually turn other appliances to spread out the increase in power usage over a longer time.
