RESTORATION TIMES

As with any weather event, please be mindful of the following safety tips:

• Live wires can be deadly. Stay away from downed power lines. Call 1-800-9OUTAGE or 1-800-968-8243 to report downed or dangling power lines, damaged or downed poles or other damaged equipment.
• Do not trim trees or remove debris on or near downed power lines. Only power company crews or their contractors should remove trees or limbs touching power lines. Again, stay away from downed power lines.
• Keep away from the immediate areas where crews are working. There is always the danger of moving equipment and the possibility of construction materials, limbs or overhead wires falling to the ground.
• If you plan on using a generator for temporary power, get a licensed electrician and disconnect from the utility electric system before hooking up to your main electric panel.
• Do not run a generator in a confined space without adequate ventilation. Use them only outdoors, following all manufacturers’ safety guidelines.
• Turn off any electrical appliances that can easily be turned to the off position until power is restored.
• Check on seniors, who can be particularly susceptible to extreme temperatures.
• Try to stay off the roads in affected areas. More traffic in bad weather leads to more accidents, including more injuries and fatalities as well as accidents that can damage electrical poles and other equipment, creating outages and impeding the ability of crews to access and repair damage and slowing restoration.

We want to keep you informed and in control. The best way to get information about outages is via Entergy’s View Outage page on our website. Additional resources for your convenience:

Batesville-area employees from Entergy Arkansas visited West Elementary School this week, where they spent the morning with around 100 second grade students.

The goal for the visit is to help educate the next generation about the importance of trees and the important role they play for the environment, animals and humans.

“We teach them about tree biology, photosynthesis and the different types of trees, but that is just the beginning,” said Chris Millay, vegetation operations coordinator for Entergy Arkansas. “Members of our team also provide demonstrations and hands-on learning experiences for the students throughout the morning.”

Activities included watching tree contractors climb a tree and work with a bucket truck alongside a discussion about tree trimming. Local line workers talked to the students about power line safety. The Batesville-area supervisor, who is also a local beekeeper, showed the kids the relationship between bees and trees. Volunteers from the engineering and customer service groups also helped with the event.

The final activity of the morning was a tree planting on the West Elementary School campus. The students chose to plant three ornamental trees that will bloom in the spring for all to enjoy: a dogwood, forest pansy redbud and a Yoshino cherry tree.

“The tree planting exercise gives us the opportunity to teach and show them the correct way to plant a tree,” says Millay. “We also tell them where trees should and shouldn’t be planted. Hopefully this helps prevent future trees being planted near the Right of Ways.”

The Batesville crew also provided coloring activities for the students to take home from school.

Teachers say the students will remember the fun morning for a long time.

“They love seeing all the equipment and learning about the big trucks and power lines they see around town,” said Kay Treadway, second grade teacher at West Elementary School. “We hope this will be a catalyst that motivates them to do other things to take good care of the earth.”

The Arbor Day event is part of Entergy’s commitment to maintaining Tree Line USA certification, which holds the company to high standards of best practices for public and private utility arboriculture. The company has been recognized with this certification for the last 19 straight years.

As crews worked tirelessly to restore power, challenges such as trees blocking access to our equipment, impassable roads and dealing with knee-deep water due to flooding complicated our restoration efforts. In most cases, Entergy Arkansas crews were having to use chainsaws to trim trees to reach the problem areas before they could start working on the damage to our electrical infrastructure. Despite these challenges, Entergy Arkansas crews persevered to safely restore power to our customers.

Over the last week, Entergy Arkansas crews and mutual assistance contactors have restored power to approximately 100,000 customers. We have experienced two different peak customer outages during this time. The first one was April 2 with 27,000 customer outages and the second was April 5 with 71,300 customer outages. Some customers across the state experienced repeat outages due to additional storms. For the April 5 storm, we were able to restore power to 83% of our customer outages within 24 hours.

We understand the role electricity has in our everyday lives and are committed to working until everyone who can safely receive power is restored. Please keep in mind when dealing with restoration times, it is hard to get an accurate window sometimes due to unforeseen issues. We strive to provide the most accurate communications available and to pass it along to customers. The best way to get information is through View Outages on our website or visiting our .

We understand unforeseen issues can be frustrating, and it was frustrating for our crews as well. During our assessment phase, we could not access certain areas initially and identified additional damage to our equipment once assessed. When crews build their restoration plans, they start at the source. If power can’t make it from the generating plant to your local substation, it can’t be delivered to your neighborhood or your street.

Once power flows back into an area via these larger systems, restorations occur in this order:

• Emergency services, life support facilities and communications networks (police, hospital, fire stations, media, industry) are restored.
• Lines serving large blocks of customers are restored next.
• Lines serving neighborhoods follow because multiple customers are involved.
• Individual services are then restored because fewer customers are involved, and, in the case of scattered outages, it often takes more time and effort to get power back on.
• Note: We don’t base our restoration plan on customers’ locations or their business history with us. Also, customers should report an outage only once. Making multiple reports for the same outage will not affect restoration times and ties up phone lines.

Consistent with our commitment to powering life for our customers every day, our crews used this opportunity to upgrade our infrastructure to further enhance reliability. In some cases, concrete poles are being used to improve system infrastructure and make it more resilient.

Entergy Arkansas would like to extend a sincere thanks to our customers that sent prayers and encouragement to our workers. Restoring your power as quickly and safely as possible is a core value, and we appreciate your support.

If your power is not restored, please check for damage to the electrical equipment attached to your home or business. If your electrical equipment sustained damage, these items must be repaired by a qualified electrician before Entergy can restore. Permits may be required.  about the electrical equipment that serves your home and about how to manage service after damage at your location.

Customers should always stay away from downed lines and report them immediately by calling 1-800-9OUTAGE, 1-800-968-8243, and your local police station or fire department.

If your power is out and your electric equipment appears undamaged, please call 1-800-9OUTAGE, 1-800-968-8243. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and again appreciate your patience and cooperation as our crews safely restored power after this weather event. Thank you also for being a valued Entergy Arkansas customer.

Teams of nearly 1,000 additional personnel have been activated to support restoration efforts here in Arkansas, and we continue to shift resources and special equipment to assist with the hardest hit areas across the state. Damage assessment is expected to be complete this evening for areas that are safely accessible.

According to the National Weather Service, the Black, Cache, Ouachita and White Rivers continue to remain at major flood stage. Many of these rivers are expected to remain at the major flood stage throughout the week as the water makes its way down river.

Flooded roadways and properties mean we are still unable to assess damage in some areas. Drones have been deployed where possible, and we have not forgotten those of you who remain behind flooded roads in the hardest hit remote areas. Total damages across the state consist of 723 broken poles, 1,492 spans of downed wire, 409 cross arms, 27 transmission structures and 190 transformers. As we continue to identify damaged equipment, restoration times will be updated as quickly as possible. Entergy Arkansas strives to provide the most accurate information about outages to our customers. The best way to get information is through View Outages on our website.

As our crews work to restore power, we continue to encounter hazardous roadways due to flash flooding and vegetation debris. These storms resulted in many downed trees, broken limbs and a significant buildup of vegetative debris. As the ground remains overly saturated, tree roots continue be at risk of losing their hold and becoming downed trees. If you must travel, please exercise caution and stay informed on local road conditions.

If your home or business has sustained damage, please remember Entergy Arkansas restoration workers cannot restore power to a location with a damaged meter base, conduit or weather-head (the metal pipe extending upward from the structure with electrical cables inside). These items will need to be repaired by a qualified electrician before our workers can restore power to your location.  about the electrical equipment that serves your home and about how to manage service after damage at your location.

Shelters for victims of the storm continue to remain open hosted by various organizations across the state. These shelters include: Flippin School Shelter located at 210 Alford Street, Flippin, AR 72634; Historic Old Hardy Gym located at 201 School Ave, Hardy, AR 72542; The Salvation Army Shelter located at 400 East 4^th Street, Texarkana, AR 71854; and Randy Sam Shelter located at 402 Oak Street, Texarkana, TX 75501.

Thank you for being our valued Entergy Arkansas customer. We empathize with the frustration and inconvenience this weather system has caused to your daily lives. Please, stay safe and watch for updates as we continue to restore power as safely and quickly as possible. We extend a special thanks to the communities and individuals who have been so gracious to our crews and restoration teams. Together, we power life!
