Where are all the linemen coming from that are heading to Florida?
In: Other
Every power company has a bunch of trucks and linemen. There are minimum needs for the area. When a severe weather event of mass scale is anticipated, the affected areas request something called mutual aid. Basically places unaffected will send some of their people, trucks, and equipment to help fix the damage faster. The people themselves may benefit from over time or hazard pay and additional perks to go. The organizations sending them benefit from assurance that others will assist them if those events happen there. This also is the idea behind fire, EMS, rescue, and law enforcement mutual aid agreements.
