Everyone agrees that power outages cause considerable inconvenience. Your Touchstone Energy cooperative does its best to reduce the frequency of power interruptions and outages, and to restore power as efficiently and safely as possible after an outage. Cooperatives maintain rights of way to protect poles and lines. They continually upgrade facilities and equipment to ensure the highest quality power distribution. And they dispatch well trained crews who know how to rebuild systems damaged by storms or accidents. Most of you seem to know this, and as a result you respond patiently after an outage. Your cooperative’s employees appreciate your understanding. The key to enduring an extended power outage is preparation. You should stock batteries, flashlights, a radio, a non-electric phone, water, food and other essential supplies in case of a sudden outage. Many of you remember experiencing some power outages when you learned something about your family, your neighbors or your ability to cope. Here are some stories of those experiences. — Michael E.C.
