Residents Can File a Claim for Lost Food & Medicine Due to Power Outage

If you lost food or prescription medicine over the last six days due Tropical Storm Isaias and the power outage, you can file a claim with Con Ed for reimbursement.

Here is the story:

• You must have experienced a power outage that lasted for more than 48 consecutive hours due to the storm;
• You can file for actual losses of food spoiled due to lack of refrigeration up to a maximum of $540;
• You can file for actual losses of prescription medicine spoiled due to lack of refrigeration.

Reimbursement is limited to spoiled food and medicine and required you to complete a form and provide certain proof of loss.
