Our hearts continue to go out to our neighbors in the south that are grappling with the devastation of Hurricane Helene.

We have increased our staffing to more than 200 full time employees assisting multiple utilities, including @AEPnews, @GeorgiaPower and @EnergyUnited with their restoration efforts. In addition to personnel, we were able to send equipment to #Tennessee including bucket trucks, pole diggers and fleet support trucks.

We extend our deepest gratitude to all first responders working tirelessly to rebuild and restore communities impacted by this disaster. #HurricaneHeleneRelief #DisasterRelief #HurricaneHelene #FirstResponders
