Open the UpNepa map and find your area. Each zone shows a power likelihood percentage built from reports by people nearby. When a zone has reports from the last 6 hours, only those are used. If it has none, the zone is marked stale and shows older reports, which may not match what is happening now.

UpNepa cannot predict when power will return. It shows what neighbours have reported. Check your zone for the latest report, and if power comes back nearby, new Power reports will appear there. You can also save a place under Alerts to be notified when your area changes.

From community reports. People tap Power or Outage using their location or a chosen area, and some browsers can prompt a report when a phone starts charging. Repeated reports from the same browser are down-weighted so one person cannot dominate a zone.

No. UpNepa is an independent community map. It is not a utility control-room feed and does not measure the national grid. Coverage is uneven, so a quiet area can simply mean few people have reported there.
