Be prepared for winter storms and power outages

Co-op crews work to strengthen the grid and prevent outages, but winter snow, ice and wind can damage power lines. If your lights go out:

> Check circuit breakers, fuses and see if neighbors have power.

> Report outages 24/7 on SmartHub or 800-421-0283.

> See live outage map. Major outages are also posted on our Facebook page.

> Stay away from fallen power lines and trees on lines.

> If we have your cell number on your electric account, we'll send you a text alert when you have an outage at your location.

> We'll also text you the outage cause and estimated restoration time, whenever possible.

> Keep your cell number up to date on your account through SmartHub, 800-421-0283, ext. 335, or on our website.

Our goal is to restore power safely and quickly, while keeping you informed.
