When severe weather hits, our people show up.
Since Friday, October 9, more than 500 Gridco personnel have been on the ground supporting storm restoration across Alabama and Georgia. From Huntsville to Mobile, from the mountains of Northeast Georgia to Columbus, our distribution, fiber and lighting crews have all been part of the response. Our crews are still active in the Brewton area, supporting Alabama Power as restoration continues.
Beyond the field work, our teams have been providing damage assessment and crew leadership while coordinating directly with Alabama Power’s Distribution Control Center on system switching to keep operations moving and reduce delays.
That coordination made a real difference on Monday, October 12. An outage hit a hospital in Mobile, home to the only Level I trauma center on the Gulf Coast. One of our damage assessors had the riser re-fused and service restored within 15 minutes of the outage being reported.
15 minutes. That’s what preparation, experience and the right people in the right place make possible.
To every Gridco crew member out there this week: what you’re doing matters. The communities on the other end of this work feel it. Thank you for showing up.
