A team 14 staff members from Entegrus were on their way to help out in Florida, but were told they weren’t needed at this time.

The crew was going to assist in the restoration of power to customers affected by hurricanes Helene and Milton.

“As we’ve done in the past, Entegrus is proud to help our American counterparts in the face of natural disasters. Our crews are experienced and well-equipped to handle the challenging conditions these hurricanes present, and we remain committed to ensuring safety throughout the restoration process. Our thoughts are with all those affected by the storms,” said president and CEO of Entegrus Jim Hogan.

The Entegrus team was joined by crews from Bluewater Power, ERTH Power, Essex Powerlines, and E.L.K. Energy.

Despite their enthusiasm to help out, the crew turned around and headed back to Canada on Thursday afternoon after they were called off the power restoration task.

Previously, Entegrus supported Florida power & Light (FPL) during Hurricane Irma in 2017 and responded to other significant events, including Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

According to Entegrus, the team is equipped with the necessary resources to work in extreme conditions, and their extensive experience with storm restoration ensures they will contribute effectively to the restoration efforts.
