Storm Watch: O&R Preparing for Expected Thunderstorms Tomorrow

O&R is preparing to mobilize its emergency response workforce ahead of the thunderstorms and heavy rain forecasted to pass through the region on Tuesday. 

These potential thunderstorms could pose a significant threat to electric service due to high winds, lightning, or downed trees and tree limbs – all of which could interfere with the safe, reliable delivery of electric service.
 
In addition to O&R company and contractor overhead line crews, tree removal experts, customer service operators, and the rest of the members of the O&R emergency response team, O&R will bring on 40 mutual aid crew members to respond to emergencies throughout the duration of the storms, if needed.
