What plans does YEC have to bring in outside crews? How about normal service calls and work needed in areas not affected by the storm?

If dam­age from a storm exceeds our capa­bil­i­ty to restore ser­vice in a rea­son­able time, we will request crews from oth­er coop­er­a­tives. Elec­tric coop­er­a­tives work togeth­er to assist one anoth­er in times of need. In areas not affect­ed by the storm, only a min­i­mum crew will be left to han­dle calls. Mem­bers should expect rou­tine ser­vice request calls such as secu­ri­ty light repairs or meter con­nects to be delayed due to the storm.

Restor­ing pow­er to homes and busi­ness­es is a top pri­or­i­ty for York Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive, but the safe­ty of our mem­bers and employ­ees always comes first – and it’s more impor­tant than ever to be cau­tious dur­ing extreme weath­er con­di­tions. For work­ers in buck­et trucks or attempt­ing to climb poles and tow­ers, high winds are very dan­ger­ous. Once a storm pass­es and winds drop to less than 30 miles per hour, we will safe­ly begin dili­gent­ly work­ing on out­ages and bring­ing you pow­er as quick­ly as pos­si­ble.
