Outage Map Status Issues Following Hurricane Ida
09/07/2021
Ida ravaged communities across southeast Louisiana, causing connectivity and other associated issues. As a result, we are experiencing technical difficulties that may lead to delays in power status availability through our outage reporting tools, including the View Outages map and other tools.
How to report an outage.
As we work to restore our systems, we ask that if you are aware of an inconsistency between the reported status and power availability at a location, please notify us by texting OUT to 36778, going to myEntergy or the Mobile App, or dial 1-800-9OUTAGE to report your outage to the automated system or speak to a representative. We are working to resolve these issues as quickly as possible.
Where can I get accurate information on restoration times?
We are maintaining a page of updated estimated restoration times at entergy.com/hurricaneida/etr. Check here to see current neighborhood restoration and damage assessment information.
How else can I tell if my power is on?
The best way to confirm if your power has been restored is an actual visit to your location. If you’ve evacuated the area, reach out to neighbors or others you know in the area for verification. Remote security cameras and systems will often begin functioning again once power is restored. If you have an answering machine, call your house to see if it’s functioning which would indicate the power is on.
