I am curious what the strategy is for linemen, particularly if a natural disaster occurs (inclement weather), in conjuction with the ongoing ‘war’.

- mandelbrotwurst 7y agoProbably just send them out, no? Do they even end up particularly close to other people even in normal times? People tend to avoid power lines that are being actively worked on.
- dillonmckay 7y agoYes, they work in crews and travel to different states. They have to eat, and stay in hotels for days or weeks.
- mandelbrotwurst 7y agoOh, interesting, I would have thought at least every few counties would have their own crew. Huh.
- hinkley 7y agoIf you work with a fixed crew and equipment, you'll have whole teams down at once, but other teams won't have been exposed at all.
- dillonmckay 7y agoExcept they interact with hotel staff and Walmart and grocery store cashiers. Also, part of my friend’s job is transporting equipment to various teams.
