Summary Outage Information
The section at the top of the toolbar shows information about the total number of outages locations, customers affected by outages, and customers served by our utilities in the state, and the time information on the map was last updated.

Outage Details (Info Box)
Clicking or tapping an individual outage icon or shaded region opens an info box with additional information.

Legend/View By Location
You can toggle the maps to view the approximate damage location of outages or an overview of total customers impacted by outages.
View By Location shows color-coded icons that represent the approximate outage location and number of customers affected. When multiple outages occur in close proximity, outages are clustered into a multi-colored icon to help reduce cluttering at high zoom levels.
View by County shows color-coded shading that represents the number of outages in each county or community, based on the zoom level.

Table View of Outages by County or Community
You can view a summary of outages by county or community in table format by clicking the "Outages by County" link
This view displays each county our utilities serve in the state, the number of customers affected by outages, the number of customers served, and the percent of customers currently impacted by outages.
Clicking a county opens a list of communities currently experiencing outages. In addition to the information about number of customers affected, this view provides the estimated time of restoration for the community. Note that when multiple outages affect a community, this will present the latest ETR for all outages in the area.
