The following is being shared at the request of Atlantic City Electric:

Being prepared is a responsibility that we take very seriously, and we encourage others to do the same. Please help us spread the word in your community about the steps that can be taken to prepare for a winter storm.

• Assemble an emergency storm kit.
• Prepare a plan for what to do during a power outage or winter storm.
• Please confirm we have your current phone number in the “My Alerts and Notifications” section of our website: //atlanticcityelectric.com/MyAccount.
• Visit //atlanticcityelectric.com/Mobileapp to download our mobile app, which has many resources to keep you informed during a storm.
• More tips, resources and safety information are available at //atlanticcityelectric.com/StormPrep.

If a severe storm hits, we monitor local weather reports regularly and follow the advice of local emergency management officials. We follow a strategic response plan to restore service to the greatest number of customers first and will work to restore service in your community safely and as quickly as possible.

Customers are asked to immediately report a downed wire or service issue by calling 1-800-833-7476, visiting atlanticcityelectric.com or through our mobile app. Atlantic City Electric customers can also text “Out” to “20661”.

WHERE DO YOUR TAX DOLLARS GO?
In NJ, your property tax bill pays for local government, school and county expenses. The City of Northfield collects your property taxes, and distributes most of this money to the other entities. So where exactly does your money go? Please see the chart attached. Roughly 28 cents of every dollar is retained by the City of Northfield for the purpose of providing all municipal services, including public safety, and the other 72 cents is sent to the local and regional schools, and to Atlantic County government, to fund the services they provide.
