WORKING FOR YOU OUTAGE COMMUNICATIONS Cobb EMC is working for you by constantly improving our outage communications tools. We work 365 days a year and have crews ready day or night to keep your lights on. If you do experience an outage, we have real-time information on our outage map to keep you in the know. We understand the importance of keeping members informed during outage situations.
Storm safety and preparedness Prepare for spring storm season by creating an emergency plan in advance. Identify your personal emergency support network and preparedness resources. Remember to stay safe even after a storm has passed. Downed power lines often carry a strong current that could cause serious injuries. View our storm safety guide today at cobbemc.com/stormsafety.
Outage map Our interactive outage map shows active outages by ZIP code and by impacted area. The map is viewable on a mobile device in the event you can’t access a desktop computer. You can view the outage map through the Cobb EMC app or by visiting the outage and storm center at cobbemc.com/outage.
Report an outage If you experience an outage, you can report it in one of many ways: through the Cobb EMC app, online at cobbemc.com/outage or by calling 770-429-2100.
Outage and storm center Our storm center provides detailed information about what happens during an outage and what to expect while you wait for power restoration. You can also learn about common outage causes like weather, wildlife, trees and accidents. View this page at cobbemc.com/stormcenter.
We’re working to enhance our outage text alerts and notification tools. This exciting improvement will keep outage communications directly in the hands of our members. Stay tuned at cobbemc.com/outage
