Power Outage Provider Feed Status and Response Codes

Data from 2026 indicates the operational status of power provider feeds, including response codes and timestamps. The dataset is designed for and consumed by the Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) Power Outage web application. It contains a limited historical record inventory.

Use Cases

• Monitoring feed health and latency using `data_age_min` and `response_code`.
• Tracking the creation and update times of provider data using `created` and `dt_stamp`.
• Identifying different types of utility data sources using the `prov_style` column.
• Analyzing temporal patterns in feed availability using the `date` field.

Strengths

• Cross-platform presence on Socrata and Data.gov signals importance and official use.
• Designed for a specific operational application (MEMA Power Outage web app).
• Contains detailed temporal columns (`created`, `dt_stamp`, `date`, `data_age_min`) for time-series analysis.

Limitations

• Conflicting 'last updated' dates: Socrata shows 2026-05-29, while Data.gov shows 2026-04-12.
• Key metadata is missing: row count, file size, license, and author are not provided.
• Documentation is minimal, with the same brief description repeated across platforms.
