Yes, it's a good first step. Contact CEMC to report any outage or safety concern. They will perform an electric inspection of their service lines and connection point to your home.

CEMC's inspections focus on the safety and integrity of the cooperative's equipment serving your property. This includes checking poles, overhead or underground lines, the meter box, and connections for signs of damage from local hazards like rodents, lightning strikes, or weather. Their goal is to ensure the power delivery to your home is safe and reliable. They do not inspect internal household wiring, appliances, or breaker panels.
