COLUMBUS, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – 100 crew members with AEP Ohio were standing by down south, ready to help restore power where needed.
They are prepared to stay for as long as 14 days, with the expectation that power restoration will take time and involve a lot of storm-related hazards.
AEP Ohio Director of Operations Matt Bennet says these men and women have prepared and are trained to work some long days.
