We just want folks to know that we’ve been preparing for any impacts over the last few days,” said Ridge Harris, a spokesperson for RG&E’s parent company.
“We train for events like this all year round,” continued Harris. “We have emergency preparedness folks, we’ve been talking with our meteorologists to get as accurate weather forecasts as possible. And importantly – pre-identifying areas that have most significant impacts, and dedicating crews and resources to those areas so we can get folks back online as soon as possible.”
