Electricity powers our homes, businesses, and communities, but it must always be treated with care. Oregon Rural Electric Cooperative Association (ORECA) and Oregon’s electric cooperatives are committed to promoting electrical safety and providing resources that help members, families, and communities stay informed and safe. Through education, training, and outreach, cooperatives work to build greater awareness and encourage safe practices around electricity.
