Customers can report downed power lines, outages and check service restoration status at www.conEd.com or by calling 1-800-75-CONED (1-800-752-6633). When reporting an outage, customers should have their Con Edison account number available, if possible, and report whether their neighbors also have lost power.

Con Ed says make safety your first concern:

• Consider all downed lines energized and call Con Edison immediately at 1-800-75-CONED (1-800-752-6633).
• Stay away from flooded areas and debris, as they could conceal downed power lines.
• Refrain from driving around in damaged areas, as you could hinder rescue and/or restoration efforts and jeopardize your safety.
• If you’re using a generator, run it outside and connect your appliances directly to it. Do not wire your generator directly to your breaker fuse box, as it may backfeed on power lines and cause injuries.
• Don’t cook with a charcoal or gas grill inside the house.
• If you leave your home, turn off appliances that may have been on when the power went out, or turn off your main breaker.
• If you have any doubt about your home electrical system or are unsure of how to proceed, call a licensed electrician.
