Zusammenfassung:	A system that detects energy resource outages includes: resource monitors, each disposed within radio range of resource meters that transmit corresponding radio signals indicative of meter identifiers and current readings, where the resource monitors are configured to receive and decode the radio signals to obtain one or more of the meter identifiers and current readings, and where the each of the resource monitors transmits the one or more of the meter identifiers and current readings over the internet cloud; and a resource server, operatively coupled to the resource monitors via the internet cloud, configured to receive the one or more meter identifiers and current readings from the resource monitors, and configured to employ the current readings to detect an outage within a geographic area, and configured to send alerts to a resource provider that correspond to the outage.
