Outage Pro is a storm-ready outage tracking app built to help you quickly understand what’s happening on the grid—right now. With a live power outage map, severity indicators, and weather layers, Outage Pro gives you fast clarity during severe weather events so you can make better decisions for your home, family, or community. Search outages by state, county, or utility, then zoom in to see impacted areas and trends. Create a watchlist of the places and providers you care about most, and set custom alerts so you don’t have to keep refreshing. When outages change—up or down—you’ll get notified based on your preferences. Outage Pro is also built for sharing. During storms, information moves through group chats, community pages, and local updates—so the app is designed to make it easy to share a single link or snapshot that keeps people informed. As Outage Pro continues to expand, upcoming improvements will focus on deeper storm context, broader coverage, faster updates, and more tools for partners and communities to distribute outage information quickly and clearly.
