Here’s the major thing about disaster response IRT power restoration:
1) You know the hurricane/ice storm/nor’easter/whatever devastating weather event is on its way.
2) Staging: you have done this so many times now it almost automatic.
3) Get your manpower, equipment and supplies STAGED in an area most conducive to the most rapid response possible.

Here we are more than a month after Maria and Whitefish Energy has failed by any reasonable measure.

It’s pathetic that ANYONE is making excuses for this.
