The Outage Map: Stay in the Know During Outages

The Outage Map is a great tool we offer to our members to use during outage situations. During this inclement weather, use these features to stay informed with up-to-date information.
Estimated Time of Restoration (ETR): This feature helps members estimate when their power should be restored. This information is located in a gray box that appears when you click on any colored dots located on the Outage Map.
County/Zip Code Tally: A county tally tells the membership how many members in that particular county are without power. This is on the right side of the map in the gray toolbox. When you click on the particular county that is being affected, the map will automatically bring you to that county and then display how many members are without power. If you would like to see this information in zip code format, simply click on the drop-down menu that says “County” and it will automatically change to zip code format.
Color-Coded Dots: These dots represent the number of people who are without power according to color and size. When these dots are on the map, you can click on them and display details on that particular outage like how many members are without power, where are they located, and what is the estimated time of restoration.
Trucks: When a truck is on the map this icon means that a crew has been dispatched to the outage.
During outages, we encourage our members to use this map as a resource for information. The Outage Map is just another way Choptank Electric Cooperative keeps in touch with its members.
