Confidence is growing that Hurricane Florence could significantly impact all of REC’s service territory. With the ground already saturated, additional heavy rain and strong winds could result in widespread, prolonged power outages. Impacts could be felt as early as late Wednesday, and heavy rain and wind could continue through the weekend. Our crews are ready to respond as quickly and safely as they can, and we urge all members to prepare now as well.

At REC, safety is always our top priority and, together with us, we urge you to prepare now.
