An online, interactive tool provided by the DEMCO (Dixie Electric Membership Corporation), a regional electricity provider, displays the current status of electrical service disruptions within its service area. This resource typically utilizes a geographical interface overlaid with indicators showing the location and extent of power outages affecting DEMCO customers.
This mapping system offers several benefits to both the provider and its customers. It increases transparency by providing real-time information, allows customers to see if their outage has been reported and acknowledged, and helps the electricity provider efficiently allocate resources for restoration efforts. Historically, such information was available only through telephone inquiries, which often led to delays and increased call volumes during widespread outages. This system enhances communication and service reliability.
