The aim of NJ Alert is to deliver timely, accurate information to the public through their handheld devices or computers. This is in addition to traditional emergency notification systems such as the Emergency Alert System and Amber Alert, which will still be used. This will help direct public action in the event of a large scale emergency. The public can voluntarily sign up for this free tool by logging on to www.njalert.gov or by visiting the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management website at www.ready.nj.gov and clicking on the NJ Alert. |

Reporting An Outage
Do not call the Police Department, if your power goes out. Dial toll-free 1-888-544-4877 to reach JCP&L. When you call, your house phone number will automatically identify your account and the address of the outage and JCP&L’s automated system will register your outage. If you’re calling from a number not listed on your account, JCP&L’s automated system may ask for your account number or the phone number at the location of the outage.
When your call comes into the automated outage reporting line, your address goes into a computer program that sort the outage calls by location and evaluates the pattern of reported outages to determine the location of the trouble. JCP&L dispatchers analyze this information to determine where to send service crews.
If your home is the only one without power, check your circuit breakers or fuses in your homes’ electric service panel. If no breaker is tripped or no fuse is blown, call JCP&L automated outage reporting line. The problem may be in the connection with JCP&L wires and your home.
You can also click here to go to the JCP&L Customer Service website. |
