HHS’s emPOWER Map is a good place for Emergency Managers to gain intelligence on a broad spectrum of potential folks in their jurisdiction who rely on power for medical devices. This mapping is not for response use, but rather for planning.
The U.S. Department of Energy maintains a national dashboard system for electricity, oil, and natural gas status, by local providers. Contact your state or federal emergency management agencies to see if you can be qualified to obtain online access.
