Private Sector Help

This weekend I drove to Indianapolis and Chicago, seeing hundreds of bucket trucks and crews on the road heading down to LA and TX. They were heading there to help fix the broken electrical and telephone lines that are down. I’ve seen these caravans before when we’ve had tornados, hurricanes and other natural disasters, but never to the magnitude that I saw this weekend.

I believe that this is an effort that is coordinated by the respective electrical and telephone industries, without any governmental interference. If anyone of you readers has knowledge of this, would you send me an email at jschultz@agracel.com? I would like to better understand how the system works and report more on it.
