As potential storms approach, our committed team at KEM Electric Cooperative is prepared to respond quickly and safely, working to restore power as soon as conditions allow. In late June, KEM Electric’s service area faced dangerous weather with damaging winds accompanied by hail and thunderstorms. During these conditions vegetation and buildings do not fare well and it will occasionally impact our system as well. While a cooperative can be prepared for storms and utilize technology to identify outages and damage, we would not be able to assess the full impact without our employees and members.
