New Hampshire Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM) is the state agency responsible for coordinating the planning for, responding to and recovery from major natural and human-caused disasters. HSEM is part of the New Hampshire Department of Safety and is the state-level equivalent of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Emergencies occur every day and the vast majority of them are

handled at the local level by police, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel. HSEM only becomes involved in major disasters where state resources are needed or where the size or duration of the disaster requires a coordinated state response. The purpose of this page is to permit authorized employees of the division to provide the public with information concerning the New Hampshire Homeland Security and Emergency Management’s mission, goals, programs, activities, events, news, stories, photographs, and videos and to disseminate other information and material intended to increase public awareness.

As of 6:00 p.m., over 20,000 customers are without power across New Hampshire as severe rain and thunderstorms move through the state.

“If you lose power, keep you and your family safe,” said Robert Buxton, Director of the New Hampshire Department of Safety’s Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. “Never run a generator indoors. If you come across downed wires, stay away and call 911. Utility crews are out working hard to restore outages as they happen. If you come across a crew on the road, give them room to work.”

Report power outages to your utility provider every 24 hours until it is restored:
• Eversource: 1-800-662-7764
• Liberty Utilities: 1-855-349-9455
• NH Electric Co-op: 1-800-343-6432
• Unitil: 1-888-301-7700

Buxton makes the following safety recommendations:
• Stay informed by signing up for NH Alerts and monitoring National Weather Service radio or broadcast weather reports.
• Use flashlights, rather than candles, for emergency lighting.
• Drivers should use extra caution, go slow and be alert for working crews.
• Never run a generator inside a building or in an enclosed space and keep them 20 feet away from buildings with the exhaust pointed away.
• If you come across traffic lights that are out, treat the intersection like a four-way stop.

If you lose power, report the outage directly to your provider so crews know exactly where help is needed. Don’t assume someone else has already made the call. Every report is like a pin on the map. The more pins, the clearer the picture for restoration crews.

Eversource: 800-662-7764
Liberty Utilities: 855-349-9455
NH Electric Co-op: 800-343-6432
Unitil: 888-301-7700

If you see downed power lines, stay far away and call 911 immediately. Assume every line is live.

Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected across New Hampshire this afternoon and evening. A Tornado Watch remains in effect across New Hampshire until 7:00 p.m. If you are driving through a storm, you can still stay safe. Take shelter in a hard-topped vehicle with the windows up, avoid metal objects inside the vehicle, and pull over away from the road with your hazard lights on.
