Indiana Michigan Power is sending more than 200 employees and contractors down south to help with power restoration following Hurricane Laura. I&M says the crews left their respective service centers early Thursday and would be ready to get to work in Louisiana and Texas as soon as Friday morning. I&M will be providing mutual assistance to the Southwestern Electric Power Company, which serves parts of Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas. SWEPCO crews and contractors also provided mutual aid to I&M the week of August 10 after a wind storm caused widespread power outages in southwest Michigan and northern Indiana. Utility companies often have mutual assistance agreements to share resources following major emergencies to help the affected areas get back on their feet.
