Report it to your electric utility — crews are dispatched from customer reports. Utilities tracked in Cumberland County include Duke Energy Carolinas, Fayetteville PWC; confirm your own provider, then use its outage line or website. Reporting a downed line helps crews find the fault faster. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911.

Does this page show Hope Mills specifically, or the whole county?

Right now, the Cumberland County county-wide view, which covers Hope Mills. No utility outage map we follow has yet listed an outage for Hope Mills by name; utilities here have so far reported only county-wide totals, or used area names we cannot match to Hope Mills. If that changes during an outage, the city's own count and restoration time appear here automatically. Fayetteville (8 mi N) is the closest place we track separately.

How accurate is the restoration estimate?

Every estimate is later graded against when the tracked outage was substantially restored (~90% of customers back), and the track record is published on our accuracy page. Estimates firm up a few hours into an outage once a steady restoration trend appears; very small outages are marked "too small to estimate" rather than guessed.
