The Impact of Late Season Storms: Be Sure to Review Your Inventory Levels

While the calendar says that it’s now spring, that doesn’t mean that snow, ice, high winds, and blizzard conditions brought on by late season storms are over. In fact, RESCO assisted member and customer utilities throughout our service region in March that were impacted by severe weather fronts.

In mid-March, we supplied materials and product to utilities in Iowa and Nebraska, following a blizzard that dumped snow and ice and brought high winds and whiteout conditions to the region.

Later that month, our warehouse crews in Michigan and Wisconsin responded to a historic ice storm that hit northern Michigan, resulting in widespread power outages and a declaration of a state of emergency.

As your trusted operational partner, RESCO is always ready to assist your utility when storms and other weather-related occurrence strike. Our Storm Response service is on call 24 hours a day to deliver the materials your linemen and technicians need to restore power and to make necessary repairs.

Additionally, we recommend to all of our members and customers—whether impacted by these recent storms or not—to conduct a review of your current product and supply levels and work with your RESCO account managers and customer service representatives to ensure you have adequate materials in the event that a weather occurrence impacts your service area.

While no one can predict precisely when and where a storm will hit and the impact it will have, continual preparation can help you and your team better respond when it does. Let our team of professionals review your current inventory supplies to ensure you’re properly equipped to address storm damage and repairs year-round.
