I've been asked about
[power outage](/tdro/messages/offline/#tdro-messages-offline) trackers
occasionally. And, the thing is... {{< abbr BPL "Bahamas Power & Light" >}} (or
was it Bahamas Grid who knows) has an outage tracker.

There's a [service hub](https://services-bplco.hub.arcgis.com/) for
[submitting anonymous reports](https://bplco.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/reporter/index.html?appid=abf67dc7bf7c4410859ef3babcee7ad4) and an
[outage dashboard](https://bplco.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/1f8828aab71442ddac0c8eb907ab0639).

There's a [WhatsApp Channel](https://www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029VagUKgq2v1IxhD7SST32)
too, but I dare anyone to explain the difference between "searching" channels, groups,
communities, et cetera.
