Be Prepared for Severe Weather with iMap Alert Program


Mother Nature was subdued dur- ing the winter months, but that doesn’t mean she won’t unleash her fury in the spring. Living in Oklaho- ma, we know what Mother Nature’s fury is like; it usually involves rain, hail, strong winds, and tornadoes. Advance notice of severe weath- er helps keep you and your family safe.


Giving you advance notice is what our iMapAlert program does. This free service provides weather forecasts and severe weather alerts for your specific area delivered right to your E-mail in-box or cell phone. Now you can be notified when bad weather is heading your way so you can plan accordingly.


The iMapAlert service includes daily 7-day forecast E-mails that are delivered to one E-mail in-box every day before dawn. You will also receive emergency alerts from the National Weather Service via E-mail or text message for your specific area, 24-hours a day. These are sent to the E-mail address or cell phone you choose. This tool also serves as a valuable communications tool that allows us to send you emergency informa-


tion, if necessary.


VVEC uses the iMapAlert sys- tem to tell you when peak electric usage times occur and when you need to conserve your individual energy consumption.


Participating in this valuable


weather-alerting service is quick, easy and free. Just go to www.vvec. com, and click on the iMapAlert icon. You will be asked to fill out your name, address, E-mail address or cell phone number, and the name of the co-op that serves you.


Also, there is an iMapAlert premium package that is ideal for members who travel frequently. Cost of this package is $5.95 per month, and details are available on our Web site.


For more information on this program or how to participate, please contact Kay Rabbitt-Brower or our member services department at (918) 371-2584, from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, or visit www.VVEC.com.


TWACS Meter Installation Begins


in Owasso Area This Month The Two-Way Automated Communication System (TWACS) meters will be installed on accounts in the Owasso area this month says Randy Riddle, VVEC’s manager of operations and technical services. Contractors will begin installing about 200 meters scattered throughout three substations during the first week of the month. Tests will then be run on those meters.


The main installation will begin Monday, April 30. Riddle points out the change-out on each meter will take just a few sec- onds, and says the contractors will have signs on their vehicles identifying them as VVEC contractors.


Anyone with questions about the TWACS meters or this program is encouraged to call Riddle at (918) 371-2584 between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
