Read and watch the story below courtesy of Fox32 Chicago: https://lnkd.in/dkvapE3h ###### Last night’s (Monday) storms brought significant damage to our communities across ComEd’s service territory impacting critical infrastructure, shutting down a major interstate highway (I-55) and leaving more than 450,000 customers without power. Thanks to the hard work of our lineworkers and team, more than 300,000 customer outages have already been restored. But we have a long way to go. The damage is extensive, as the storm spawned at least 10 confirmed #tornadoes and generated wind gusts of over 70 mph, causing significant destruction across northern Illinois. For this reason, we’re doubling field forces to 3,000 working to support restoration today (Tuesday), with mutual assistance being provided by external utility partners, including 300 crews from Canada. We are also opening up Joint Operation Centers (JOC’s) in Joliet, Streator and University Park in partnership with local government OEMs so that we can fully respond to the needs on the ground for some of our region’s most heavily impacted communities. But given the severity of the storm and the need for further assessment, we have taken an all-hands on deck approach to storm restoration. Based on current projections, we anticipate that 80 percent of customer outages will be restored Wednesday, with full and permanent restoration on Friday. P.S. I would like to thank Governor JB Pritzker for issuing a letter yesterday to the U.S. Customs and Boarder Patrol to facilitate expediting the travel of Canadian crews into our service territory and assist in restoration. #StormRestoration #PowerRestoration #SevereWeatherEvent #Tornadoes

??? Important Notice ??? We believe a tornado recently passed just east of our location, resulting in significant damage to the power lines. Fortunately, our shop has not sustained any damage; however, it appears that it will be a few days before power is restored. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. We will resume operations as soon as power is restored. Stay safe. #TornadoAlert #PowerOutage #CommunitySupport #SafetyFirst #WeatherUpdate

?? ALERT: https://bit.ly/3UUNcy8 The Southern Region is now at Fire Preparedness Level 2. This means that several areas are experiencing high to extreme fire danger. Critical to extreme fire weather will impact the Plains today ahead of a cold front. Existing large fires and new ignitions have the potential to grow rapidly. Extremely dry air is likely to spread across the Plains Friday and Saturday, while winds will begin to increase ahead of a developing storm system over the the western part of the region. #Wildfire #FireWeather #FireEnvironment #Firefighter

When a storm hits, keeping track of labor rules and making sure crews stay in compliance gets quite a bit harder. Optimize your storm recovery and restoration to ensure you won’t lose money and time from noncompliance. #utility #laborrules #stormresponse #utilitycrewmanagement

While pre-storm planning is important, having a plan ready for post-storm recovery is just as important. TechServ offers storm support services to help asses damage and get electric distribution systems back online after a major storm event. https://lnkd.in/gURBvgP3 #stormsupport #damageassesment
