Electric Cooperatives Begin Hurricane Helene Recovery Efforts
Recovery efforts have begun in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas after Hurricane Helene, a Category 4 hurricane, made landfall late Thursday, resulting in power loss for over 1.15 million electric cooperative members. More than 6,400 personnel from electric cooperatives across the United States, including lineworkers, support staff, right-of-way contractors, warehouse staff, safety employees and command center staff, have already joined the mutual aid effort.
