And with summer temperatures often creeping close to 100 degrees, you could quickly find yourself with spoiled food and damaged property after a power outage.

The good news is that is now easily available. Read on to learn how easy it is to put dollars back in your pocket if you sustained damages during a blackout in the Outer Banks region.

How to Check for a Power Outage in the Outer Banks

Whether you reside on Nags Head, Duck, or any of the other Outer Banks islands, it is never pleasant to deal with power loss or a blackout. No matter how many times you live through the experience, it's natural to wonder how to best deal with a power outage. In a nutshell, there are four simple measures to follow if you lose power in the Outer Banks:

First, check each room of your home or apartment. If you are only without power in one or two rooms, you could have a blown fuse.
Next, look to see if your neighbors still have power. If your home is the only one without power, then check to see if you paid your utility bills.
If the homes around you are also dark and you also notice you have a Spectrum internet outage, you should report your outage right away.

How to Claim Your Outer Banks Power Outage Compensation

Once you report your power outage, you can focus on recovering any financial loss you experienced while you were without power. Completing Hatteras Island claims for a power outage is not always a straightforward process, and you may find yourself spending hours on the claim process. If you are handling the claim by yourself, then prepare yourself for a lengthy series of tasks that fall into three stages:

Stage One: Review the claim filing process	If you have ever handled a PG&E power outage claim or a claim for an Oncor power outage, then you likely know there are policies and procedures you need to adhere to when filing a claim. Depending on your provider, you will need to review the claim filing process for Dominion Energy and Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative.
Stage Two: Collect and organize evidence of your damage	As part of the claim review process, your provider may ask you for photos, receipts, and other evidence that the power loss damaged property you purchased and own. To prepare for this possibility, keep your photos and receipts on hand in a folder along with a copy of your claim form.
Stage Three: Complete a claim form	After you take time to learn the claim process and gather your evidence, you will need to complete the claim submission process. To do this, you need to call Dominion Energy at 866-366-4357 or Cape Hatteras Electric Coop at 866-511-9862 and follow their instructions.
