STATEMENT BY: Amy Zubaly, FMEA Executive Director, Regarding Mutual Aid for Hurricane Francine

“Florida public power electric utilities are proud to answer the call to provide mutual aid to neighboring public power communities in times of need, especially when facing the impending arrival of storms such as Hurricane Francine. Crews from the City of Tallahassee Electric Utility and Gainesville Regional Utilities are en route to support Lafayette Utilities System (LUS) in their restoration efforts following the storm’s anticipated landfall tomorrow.

Additional Florida public power utilities are on standby to assist and will deploy after the storm makes landfall if needed.

As the mutual aid coordinator for Florida’s 33 public power utilities, FMEA and Florida’s public power utilities stand ready to provide additional mutual aid assistance to help impacted communities recover.”
