emPOWER Map

Millions of Medicare beneficiaries rely upon electricity-dependent medical and assistive equipment such as ventilators and wheel chairs. Severe weather and disasters that cause power outages can be life threatening for these individuals.

This map gives users a way to find the monthly total of Medicare beneficiaries with electricity-dependent equipment claims at the state, territory, county, and ZIP code level. Users can also turn on “real-time” NOAA severe weather tracking services to identify areas and populations that may be impacted and at-risk for power outages.
