Phil Boyle

With pending winter storms, I wanted to provide you with contact numbers where you can seek assistance during power outages or with other emergencies.
National Grid is taking the lead role in managing the Long Island Power Authority's response to impending winter storms and will be ready with advance preparations and response plans.
To report power outages, or electrical emergencies, call LIPA’s Hotline 1-800-490-0075 or 631-755-6900 to be immediately directed to National Grid.
To report gas emergencies to National Grid call 1-800-490-0045.
