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.
