Not surprising, and I'm glad it's being done. I'd be more worried if the headline was something like "Power companies wait too late to sequester plant operation crews, personnel shortages mount as employees catch COVID-19" or similiar. I got a taste of something similar to this years back when I was a NOC monkey. I worked a weekend shift. One time, the news reported that big snow storm was coming that weekend. When I showed up that Friday, the site manager gave me the info for the hotel they were putting me up in for the weekend. Yes, he knows I have a relatively short drive to work along routes that will be the first ones hit by the plows and salt trucks. Yes, he's glad I have a fresh battery and snow tires on my car. No, none of that matters, we need to guarantee personnel on site, and the hotel's closer. Companies that provide important services usually have plans in place for events like this if they have their shit together. Usually.
