UCEMC News:
If 2020 was the year of change, we hope that 2021 will be known as the year of resilience.
The very definition of resilience is “the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness.” Few could argue that the journey through 2020 has been challenging, and we've had to be tough to get through it.
The last twelve months brought a heaping helping of trials to the Upper Cumberland – challenges that other parts of the nation didn’t have in addition to the battle against Covid-19.
The E-F3 tornado collapsed the UCEMC Cookeville District office's ceilings in the early morning hours of March 3, 2020.On March 3, 2020, deadly E-F3 tornadoes devastated our area, leaving thousands without homes, without power, and most tragically, leaving us mourning the loss of many of our friends and neighbors. One of our own at UCEMC was among those seriously injured when her home was destroyed.
We told you about this in October, but it seems scammers are at it again. Some UCEMC members from the Carthage area report receiving a call that, in several cases, shows up on Caller ID as a local call. Scammers are known to "hijack" the telephone numbers of local residents to make these calls. A recording informs members that they are to experience a power outage in the next 30 minutes if they don't pay their electric bill immediately over the phone. This is a scam! UCEMC will never call you asking for financial information.
Please inform us if these scammers contact you. 1-800-261-2940
