Storm Center

When a severe weather event threatens, Southern Pine activates its emergency restoration plan. The weather throughout our 11-county service area is closely monitored and employees are placed on alert to react to any problems created by the storm system.

Joe Hardin, staff assistant at Southern Pine Electric Power Association, checks out a load of emergency power line construction materials prepared in advance of Hurricane Gustav's arrival in the Gulf Coast. Southern Pine employees containerized the materials to facilitate a fast delivery to its warehouses in the event of an emergency. This is but one of the many ways Southern Pine prepares for emergency power restoration year-round. Outages caused by Gustav affected some 6,500 meters served by Southern Pine, or about 10 percent of meters in the cooperative's 11-county service area.

How to report an outage

Southern Pine utilizes 24-hour-a-day dispatchers, and company officials request you call immediately if you experience any outages, or if you see any power lines down.

Please report outages by calling any Southern Pine office.
