What to expect
You’ll travel. Storm work goes where the damage is. Plan on time away from home.
Deployments can run long. Crews stayed 78 consecutive days on Hurricane Ian.
We stay until the system is restored. That’s the job.
The call-out comes by text. Keep the phone you signed up with on and close by.
