Great Lakes Area Families,



Hunt and the Naval Station are aware power has not been restored to FT Sheridan Housing. The substation that feeds into FT Sheridan was damaged and is still out of normal configuration. ComEd is sending a team out to look at the substation again. We are unsure at this time how long it will take to have power restored but we do know power will be restored.



Hunt is working to see if they can send food trucks down to the area. We have also asked NEX and USO to see what they can do to assist.



Continue to stay safe and if you are in a dire situation and need assistance, work through the OMBUDSMAN network and chains of command to relay those issues to the Naval Station.

Great Lakes Area Families,

The storms that rolled through the area have caused widespread electrical outages across Lake County. Over 200,000 people are affected. ComEd who supplies power to the local area is actively engaged in repairs and is working to restore power as soon as possible.

ComEd was made aware of the power outages shortly after the storms rolled through by both Hunt and Naval Station Great Lakes. Both Hunt and the Naval Station have been making regular inquires with ComEd on the status of repairs. ComEd owns the power lines and all repair capabilities.

ComEd is actively working to restore power to Highland Park and FT Sheridan. Right now it appears the substation that serves the entire area near FT Sheridan was severely impacted. We hope power is restored tonight but there is a good probability it will take longer than that to restore power.

Continue to stay safe and if you are in a dire situation and need assistance, work through the OMBUDSMAN network and chains of command to relay those issues to the Naval Station.
