If you don\u2019t see your outage, you can report it at\u00a0<a href=\"tel:1-800-488-6151\">1-800-488-6151<\/a>. You can also sign up to receive\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tools.idahopower.com\/Alerts\/Outage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">text alerts<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n<li>For safety reasons, use battery-powered lights instead of candles.<\/li>\n\n<li>Never use an electric generator indoors, inside the garage or near the air intake of your house. If you plan to use a generator during an outage, ensure it meets National Electrical Code Articles 701 and 702 and does not interconnect with Idaho Power\u2019s electrical system. If you have questions, contact us beforehand at\u00a0<a href=\"tel:208-388-2323\">208-388-2323<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"tel:1-800-488-6151\">1-800-488-6151<\/a>.

Make sure to turn off electric ranges to prevent fires if you\u2019re away when power is restored. Keep one light on so you know when power has been restored.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>After power has been restored for about 10 minutes, begin turning back on appliances and lighting in 10-minute phases. This keeps circuits from overloading and helps to more quickly and safely restore everyone\u2019s power.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n<li>Avoid opening refrigerator and freezer doors to keep food cold longer, and keep a large block of ice in the freezer.<\/li>\n\n<li>If you notice a downed power line, stay at least 100 feet back and report it to Idaho Power by calling\u00a0<a href=\"tel:1-800-488-6151\">1-800-488-6151<\/a>.
