Mutual assistance, a hallmark of the electric power industry, has characterized successful responses to major incidents and disasters for decades. It draws on voluntary partnerships that allow impacted electric companies to access specialized equipment and skilled workers from unaffected companies to restore power safely and quickly. It is essential to restoration planning and is used regularly by investor-owned electric companies, public power utilities, and electric cooperatives across the nation.
