FROM THE OFFICE OF STATE SENATOR JERRY CIRINO

As our communities continue to recover from the devastating storms that hit Northeast Ohio on Tuesday, I want to make sure all available resources are easily accessible.
 
For information related to power outages, First Energy has a continuously updated outage map easily available online: FirstEnergy Storm Center OH (firstenergycorp.com).
 
If you have specific questions related to power, please call the Public Utility Commission of Ohio at (800) 686-7826, which has a team ready to help answer any questions and provide guidance.
 
If you are a recipient of SNAP Benefits, you might be eligible for replacement benefits due to destroyed food. The form is linked here and must be submitted to your County Department of Jobs and Family Services within 10 days of the loss: odjfs.state.oh.us/forms/num/JFS07222/pdf/. 
 
Please call my office at (614) 644-7718 for any assistance you need and for more updates.
