WIREGRASS: On Tuesday Wiregrass Electric Cooperative is already standing up their emergency operations in preparation for the incoming hurricane.
Ladies and Gentleman - first I want to say the electrical copanies ARE FIRST RESPONDERS. They are in the group of law enforcement - fire - EMS. Because when power is on a structure that is on fire, power lines are on a car where people are trapped, until they arrive, the medical - fire and law enforcement can not do anything.
Also, would you hang in a bucket with 50 MPH winds attempting to restore power? No way would I. But they do so that you and I can flip a light switch and have lights, or adjust the thermostat and have air.
So in these days ahead, RSN solicits your prayers for all utility workers.
Wiregrass Electric Co-Op has a state-of-art emergency operations center in their home office. And staff often times knows you power is out before you do.
The press release below was emailed on Tuesday on preparations already underway for the incoming hurricane.
