Natural disasters can be cruel, and Hurricane Harvey, which made landfall in Texas in late August, was no exception. In addition to flooding cities and knocking out power to thousands of people, the massive storm left thousands of pets abandoned, lost or homeless.

Entergy’s Commitment to Helping Our Neighbors

Ever seen a caravan of linemen with bucket trucks heading towards a disaster site, in the opposite direction that everyone else is driving? It’s not because they’re lost or searching for an adrenaline rush. It’s because they’re part of a program that helps electric companies turn the lights on more quickly after a natural disaster. In preparation for emergencies, electric companies have mutual assistance agreements with other companies that allow them to increase their workforce by “borrowing” restoration workers to help respond to areas impacted by a major outage event.
