Give this Actor a list of US counties. It returns one scored report per county, so you can compare outage risk across sites without building your own pipeline. Built by Outage Almanac.
Use it for site planning, business continuity reviews, and resilience research.
What you get
- How the county compares with its state and the US, including ranks and a risk tier
- A data confidence rating, so you know how far to trust the comparison
- Major outages per year and the longest major outage
- The largest number of customers out in a sustained outage
- The worst months of the year
- The five largest outages on record, with dates
- Year-by-year history through 2023
A major outage lasted at least 8 hours and reached customers equal to at least 1% of county residents.
Input
Leave locations empty and set state to report on every covered county in that state.
Pricing
You pay once per county report. Lines that do not match a county are free. If a run reaches your spending limit, it stops and keeps the reports already finished.
Limits
- Coverage is 2,966 counties and county equivalents in 49 states and Washington, DC. Connecticut is not included yet.
- History starts between 2015 and 2023, depending on when local utilities began reporting, and ends in 2023. It is not live.
- Places rated Low confidence are not ranked. They have short history, very small populations, or customer counts that look too high for the population.
- Records cover outages affecting at least 200 customers in a county. They do not show what happened at a specific address.
- Durations cover the time at least 200 customers were out, not how long one customer was out.
- Utilities that do not report, including some municipal systems and co-ops, can make a county look better than it is.
