Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC) recognizes the importance of keeping member- owners informed during a power outage.
That’s why today REC is excited to launch its new and improved outage map on its website, myrec.coop.
The following are just some of the upgrades member-owners will notice on the Outage map: a weather-overlay option, an address search, embedded safety links, the option to view outage details by road, satellite or as a hybrid - and for the first time members will have the option to view outage information in Spanish!
Members also can sign up for Outage Text Alerts, which alert members when an outage occurs, when a crew is dispatched, when an estimated restoration time is determined, when power is restored and the cause of the outage.
“Our reliability teams work year-round to prevent power outages by upgrading equipment and clearing rights of way, among many other projects,” said Casey Hollins, Managing Director – Communications and Public Relations. “When an outage can’t be avoided, however, we believe this new outage map will provide members with the latest details customized to their specific outage.”
We hope you have the opportunity to explore the new outage map:
