An interactive visual tool displays current electric service interruptions within a specific rural electric membership cooperative’s (REMC) service territory. The map often utilizes color-coded indicators to represent the location and extent of reported power outages, allowing users to readily identify affected areas.
This resource provides several key benefits, including improved situational awareness for cooperative members, facilitating quicker restoration efforts by pinpointing outage locations for line crews, and offering greater transparency regarding the status of power restoration. It also provides near real-time information during extreme weather events or widespread system disturbances, making it a valuable communication tool. Over time, these visualizations have evolved from simple static images to dynamic, data-driven applications integrating with outage management systems to increase accuracy and timeliness.
