Futura Systems

Great Scott! It's October 21st, the day Marty McFly went #BackToTheFuture. In honor of that, we placed our own little twist on the day! Join us in also celebrating #BackToTheFutura day as we continue to build the future of GIS.

Two major hurricanes made landfall within just a few weeks of each other! As always, cooperatives jumped into action to get the lights back on. https://www.electric.coop/hurricane-delta-tracking-the-co-/

We can tell that our friends at Adams Electric Cooperative are smiling under their masks! It's not too late to join the challenge. Just tag us in your mask photos and use the #FuturaMaskChallenge hashtag.

For #FuturaFriday, we are flashing back to a moment of true dedication! A Futura teammate was enjoying this view when he received an urgent request from Delta EPA. They were sending reinforcements to help out Southern Pine Electric, but they needed maps of the service area. We were able to send them what they needed - from a kayak!

We're excited to announce the #FuturaMaskChallenge! If you have a Futura mask, we'd love to see it in action. No Futura mask? We still want to see you masked up and ready to go! We're celebrating all the utility workers who mask up every day to help keep the lights on. Just comment your photo below!

Want to take your GIS skills to the next level? We are offering virtual Fall Training opportunities! Mark your calendars for October 19th-23rd, and reach out to David Shaw at [email protected] for more information. We hope to (virtually) see you there.

When we heard today was #HobbitDay, we knew we had to share this interactive map of Middle Earth. If you're a Lord of The Rings fan (or just a fellow map nerd!), you should check it out and let us know what you think! http://lotrproject.com/map/

We love this story about our friends at Roanoke Electric Cooperative! The cooperative's sustainable forestry program has been quietly working to reverse decades of systemic discrimination against African American landowners. electric.coop/undoing-injustive-roanoke-electric-works-to-/

We hope September is off to a fantastic start for everyone. Cheers to Labor Day weekend, and we will see you next week! #FuturaFriday

We're really flexing our GIS muscle with these recent Futura Flex installations at Horry Electric, Palmetto Electric, Pennyrile Electric, Sumter EMC, Colquitt EMC, and Magic Valley EC! By enabling dispatchers to better manage the work of field reps and crews, Futura Flex gives you less to worry about and more to work with.

Hurricane Laura knocked out power for 100% of Jefferson Davis Electric's members! It's heartening to see cooperatives come together to help restore power in such a difficult time. #ThankALineworker #CooperativesHelpingCooperatives

Happy #NationalDogDay! We love any excuse to show off the Futura dog pack. Do you have a dog? Comment with a photo of your pup so we can tell you how cute they are!

Did you know the Futura team has group volunteer days? COVID-19 made us take a break, but we’re looking forward to being able to donate our time again! #FuturaFriday
