How do I confirm a power outage?

When a storm or other circumstance causes a power outage, immediate action is taken by Arkansas Valley Electric Cooperative to restore electric service as quickly and safely as possible. 

There are also some steps you, as a part owner of this Cooperative, can take, before, during and after a power outage that will make it easier to cope with the outage.

Confirm the Outage

Before calling the Cooperative, check lights and appliances in other parts of the house. 

If all your lights are off, check with a neighbor to see if their power is off. Checking with neighbors about their power before calling the Cooperative will help us determine how widespread the power outage is.
