If you see a damaged or downed power line, stay away from it, and call 911 or the co-op at (800) 658-2368 to report it immediately. Always assume downed power lines are energized and never drive near or over them. When severe weather causes widespread damage, sometimes outages can be extended. Great River Energy (GRE) and Brown County REA work hard to restore your power quickly and safely. First, we remove any threats to public safety and then following established priorities for making repairs that will restore the most cooperative members first.
