entergy’s louisiana utilities preparing for potential impacts of tropical storm delta

10/05/2020

entergy’s louisiana companies are continuing to monitor and plan for the potential impacts of tropical storm delta. while the path and intensity of delta could change, the companies are preparing for the enhanced risks of severe thunderstorms, strong winds, heavy rains, high tides and coastal flooding in portions of louisiana.

delta is anticipated to approach the northern gulf coast late this week, bringing tropical-storm force conditions across the louisiana coastline. though delta’s path and intensity could change, customers are encouraged to continue monitoring local weather alerts, have a plan in place and follow guidance from state and local officials.

entergy’s storm team is prepared to restore power and gas services safely and quickly to customers should outages occur. in addition, the companies will move equipment from low-lying areas that could see high water to higher ground and ensure flood protections are in place. high-water vehicles and drones are being secured should they be needed during any restoration efforts.

due to the covid-19 pandemic, crews will continue to practice social distancing while in the field, and entergy asks that customers do the same. for the safety of crews and customers, please stay away from work zones. if there is a need to report a service problem, customers should call 1-800-entergy.
