Disaster support restoring your service

Restoring your service

During a natural disaster, it can be difficult to determine how long it’ll take to restore services. We depend on commercial power, so our employees often follow the path of your local power company when restoring your service.


Factors that can affect restoration:

  • Power restoration
  • Storm debris blocking our way
  • Current weather conditions

We’ll provide updates as they’re available on Cox.com and through email. If you sign up for text messages about your outage, you’ll also receive a SMS message when we’ve cleared outages in your area.
Disaster support don't cut cable initiative

Don't cut cable initiative

We’ve partnered with providers across our industry to help teach more customers how to avoid unnecessary danger and outages with our “Don’t Cut Cable” initiative.  

The most important thing to remember is: Do not attempt to remove lines from a utility pole. There are several types of lines on each utility pole and going into each home, so it’s best to leave line removal to the professionals.

If you see a line down on your property or at your home, just contact us at www.cox.com/chat and we will arrange a date/time for a technician to come and remove or repair it.
