Before the seasonal Switch, Arkansas declared the 2nd to March 8th as a week for storm awareness. ENTERGY Arkansas encourages customers to watch the week by ensuring that they have a storm plan, an equipped emergency kit and a reliable way to stay up to date through the weather conditions.

We follow a very detailed, pregnant plan that worked well for us during the Storm recovery. Every storm is unique. While the plans are rehearsed and present, we also adapt to the constantly changing conditions that are brought by mother nature.
