Critical
News From The States
Governor Ron DeSantis has declared a state of emergency for 25 counties in Florida as Tropical Depression 9 approaches. Emergency supplies, including fuel and generators, are being pre-positioned in Leon and Santa Rosa counties. The storm is expected to bring heavy rain, strong winds, and flash flooding risks, particularly in North Florida.
The declaration activates state emergency teams to prepare for potential infrastructure impacts. With saturated soils from recent rains, the risk of prolonged outages and damage to energy systems is heightened.
Why this matters to you: Effective storm preparation now will be critical to minimizing outages and ensuring customer safety. Mobilizing resources and communicating restoration plans early will help maintain service reliability during and after the storm.
