(February 3, 2026 | 12 p.m. CT): Many of you have begun cleanup following Winter Storm Fern. Please follow debris-separation guidelines so materials can be picked up efficiently. Keep debris separated by type and place it curbside, away from mailboxes, utility poles, storm drains, and fire hydrants.

After a major storm like this, it’s important to know where our role ends and yours begins. NES maintains and repairs the lines leading to your house, but homeowners are responsible for the equipment on the house. If your weatherhead, power mast or meter base are damaged, our crews cannot safely reconnect your power. You will need to contact an electrician licensed and registered by your county. Get your equipment repairs scheduled as soon as possible so you can have power as soon as NES electrical service is restored.

Black ice is a transparent coating on the pavement. Because it’s clear, you see the black road underneath, making it almost impossible to spot until you’re already sliding. If you hit a patch, take your foot off the gas, avoid slamming the brakes, and steer with the skid.

Under the Emergency Declarations signed by @POTUS, we are providing direct support to state governments. If you need help, check state and local sources: fema.gov/disaster/2026-winte… We continue working with states as they assess damage to determine if more federal help is needed.
Just a Quick Clarification... There's been a lot of confusion online about what storm recovery funding is. You may have heard we received Emergency Declaration funds. Emergency Declarations are for state and local governments so they can take immediate steps to protect the whole community. They are not for individuals. Right now, there are no FEMA funds available for individuals. If you need support, local nonprofits or 211 can help connect you with resources based on your situation.

Roads are tricky to navigate when there is snow. If it’s not essential, don’t get on the road. Stay home. Remember, bridges, overpasses, and roads less traveled freeze first. Avoid driving if possible. If you must drive, reduce your speed and avoid sudden braking.

We know how fun a snow day is, but it's never fun to be cold! Before you head outside to start that snowball fight, make sure to: -Wear a hat, scarf and gloves to cover exposed skin. -Layer thin, warm layers underneath thick, bulky layers, like a coat. -Wear waterproof shoes
