SUPPLY, N.C., (Sept. 5, 2019, 6:00 p.m.) –  Members of Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation (BEMC) have faced minimal outages thus far due to Hurricane Dorian, despite widespread tornadic activity in the northern and southernmost parts of the cooperative’s service territory early this morning.

BEMC’s system is designed for resilience.  Its year-round Right-of-Way maintenance program minimizes damage to lines from fallen trees and limbs, and more than half of its 6,800 miles of line are buried underground in order to speed post-storm restoration across the service territory.
