Storm and Outage Details

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) is closely monitoring the chance of severe weather today and tomorrow across our service area. Heavy rain, frequent lightning, strong winds, and hail are in the forecast.

We’re taking steps to ensure we’re ready to support customers if outages occur.

Our storm restoration team, including lineworkers, damage assessors, and tree‑trimming experts, will begin the process of restoring power once it is safe to do so.

STORM PREPARATION

I&M understands a power outage is never convenient, especially after a storm. Here are a few things you can do to prepare:

• Make sure your storm kit and emergency plan are ready.
• Secure or bring in outdoor items that could become airborne in strong winds, such as trampolines, furniture, and garbage cans.
• Charge your phones and tablets ahead of incoming weather.
• Now is a good time for customers to log in to their I&M account and make sure we have a current cell phone number and email address on file. This ensures we can reach you quickly if conditions affect your service.
• Download I&M’s app and sign up for alerts. The app shows specific information for your outage, and text/email alerts will update you with estimated restoration times.

STORM SAFETY

• Treat all downed power lines as energized and dangerous. Stay at least 10 feet away from a downed wire and anything it may be touching—like a fence or debris. Please call local police or I&M immediately at 1-800-311-4634 to report hazards.
• Do not approach our crews. They work with electricity and hazardous equipment that could cause injuries to both customers and workers.
