Checking NIPSCO…
From NIPSCO's public outage list, which NIPSCO updates about every 10 minutes; this page checks every 5. Times are La Porte time and NIPSCO's estimates. Rural homes on an electric co-op (REMC), or in a town with its own utility, won't show here: check your bill for your company's outage line. Not listed but your power's out? Report it. NIPSCO may not know yet.
KNOW WHAT TO DO
Power's out. Now what?
- Check the breaker box first. If the neighbors have lights and you don't, it may be just your house.
- Report it to NIPSCO at 1-800-464-7726 or online, even if you think someone already has.
- Stay far away from downed lines and anything touching them, like a fence, puddle or car. Call 911, then NIPSCO.
- Keep the fridge and freezer shut. A closed fridge keeps food safe about 4 hours; a full freezer about 48 (24 if half full).
- Generators outside only, 20+ feet from doors and windows. Never in the garage, even with the door open. Carbon monoxide kills.
- Unplug electronics and leave one light on so you know when it's back. That avoids a surge when the power returns.
- Cold or hot inside? Check on older neighbors. For a warming or cooling center, call 211.
