Alabama Power Mobilizes for Hurricane Isaias

The utility has secured over 5,700 additional personnel from 25 states to bolster local response efforts. Scott Moore, senior vice president of Power Delivery, noted that year-round training provides the flexibility needed to adapt as the storm's impact becomes clearer. Crews are currently staging in strategic locations to initiate repairs as soon as weather conditions permit safe operation.

Forecasts indicate the storm will approach the northern Gulf Coast Friday night, bringing significant threats including storm surges of up to seven feet in coastal areas and five to seven feet in Mobile Bay. A flood watch spans the state through Saturday morning, while high wind watches are set for northern regions. Residents are advised to monitor the Alabama Power outage map and report electrical failures via the company’s mobile app or by calling 800-888-2726. The utility emphasizes maintaining distance from downed power lines and avoiding any debris touching electrical equipment.
