North Little Rock provides toll-free number for power outages

From the city of North Little Rock:

North Little Rock residents can call 1-888-728-4004 to report power outages due to winter storms. Residents also can e-mail nlred@nlrelectric.com to report an outage in their area.

North Little Rock crews have been preparing for months for inclement weather by outlining procedures, determining standby crew assignments and trimming trees to assure power lines are clear from falling limbs.

Residents can ensure their safety by staying away from downed power lines and debris and reporting them immediately to the North Little Rock Electric, police or fire departments. If using portable generators, do so exactly as the manufacturer specifies to be certain there is no health or fire hazard to you or your home.
