The power conglomerates in the US have an excellent mutual aid response plan. There are probably masses of power crews waiting outside the affected areas, ready to come in as soon as it's safe. They are always heroes in the response arena!

Unfortunately, all those workers also stress the available resources in the areas adjacent to the disaster zones because they need to be housed and fed. That means that hotel rooms often aren't available for local families who need temporary housing or for other response personnel. The rooms go to whoever gets there first and the power companies are fast.

Still, to the families and businesses who need power to begin recovery efforts, those guys and gals are often more important than any other types of responders!
