Our area knows firsthand that severe weather can strike quickly and with little warning, and storm damage can occur anyplace, year-round.
Escambia River Electric Cooperative (EREC) continuously monitors the weather and stays ready to respond at a moment’s notice by deploying its people to restore the power you depend on.
However, EREC’s efforts to weather the storms begin well before inclement weather arrives.
The cooperative prepares by:
- Improving existing system infrastructure with the help of the latest tools and technologies.
- Extending the life of current wires and poles through right-of-way maintenance.
- Stocking supplies—such as transformers and poles—to quickly restore power when it’s lost.
When outages occur from storm damage, EREC’s priority is minimizing hazards to members while repairing damage and restoring power as quickly as possible. The cooperative offers members several ways to report outages: by telephone, through its website, or through its mobile app.
