BTES provides a top-tier public map because they are a municipal utility, not a private shareholder one. They have no reason to hide data. How to Prepare for the Next "Top" Outage Event Waiting until the power is out to find the map is too late. Follow this checklist to ensure you are ready to use the map effectively. Step 1: Save Offline Access Take a screenshot of the BTES outage map QR code and save it to your phone’s "Wallet" or a photo album labeled "Emergency." If the internet is down, you can scan that QR code from a neighbor’s phone if they have a hotspot. Step 2: Charge Your Backup Battery The map drains battery quickly. Keep a power bank charged at all times. The top users of the map are those who still have 50% battery two hours into the outage. Step 3: Know Your "Node" Look at the map before a storm. Identify your "Circuit Node" (usually a substation name like "Weaver Pike" or "Solar Hill"). When an outage happens, search the map for that name. If that node is red, you are in for a long night. If it is green, your issue is just a tripped breaker. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the BTES Outage Map Top Q: Does the BTES outage map work on a phone without Wi-Fi? A: Yes, as long as you have cellular data (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile). The map requires less than 1MB of data to load. If cell towers are down, the map will not load.
