The New Haven Register is taking its reporting to the next step by crowdsourcing when power was turned on, by address and neighborhood, across the our coverage areas and the state. We are asking readers to answer a very brief survey created in Google Docs, asking them when their power was turned back on. Here’s a link:

We will then place that data  on a map of the state, overlay other things such as Census data on population and income, if relevant, and analyze the trends to see if the utility companies followed their own policies of bringing major population centers online first, and whether there are distinct patterns in how they deployed resources.
