Thanks to the hard work of our lineworkers and team, more than 300,000 customer outages have already been restored. But we have a long way to go. The damage is extensive, as the storm spawned at least 10 confirmed #tornadoes and generated wind gusts of over 70 mph, causing significant destruction across northern Illinois. For this reason, we’re doubling field forces to 3,000 working to support restoration today (Tuesday), with mutual assistance being provided by external utility partners, including 300 crews from Canada. We are also opening up Joint Operation Centers (JOC’s) in Joliet, Streator and University Park in partnership with local government OEMs so that we can fully respond to the needs on the ground for some of our region’s most heavily impacted communities. But given the severity of the storm and the need for further assessment, we have taken an all-hands on deck approach to storm restoration. Based on current projections, we anticipate that 80 percent of customer outages will be restored Wednesday, with full and permanent restoration on Friday. P.S. I would like to thank Governor JB Pritzker for issuing a letter yesterday to the U.S. Customs and Boarder Patrol to facilitate expediting the travel of Canadian crews into our service territory and assist in restoration. #StormRestoration #PowerRestoration #SevereWeatherEvent #Tornadoes

Though the 2023 coastal storm season is over, we’re continually improving our storm response. Last week, New York City Emergency Management Department got together with FEMA Region 2, NYS Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Services, other city and regional partners to discuss challenges and best practices when we’re faced with a need to evacuate. It was a great a discussion and I always appreciate opportunities to learn and revisit how we address evacuation behavior planning. #evacuation #hurricane #coastalstorms #evacuationcompliance #emergencymanagement #emergencypreparedness #emergencyresponse
