JUNO BEACH, Florida, September 4, 2019 / PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE / – According to our report of the 12:00 pm., Florida Power & Light Company has reestablished more than 150,000 interruptions while the external bands of Hurricane Dorian continue to affect the east coast of Florida. Most of the interruptions have been the result of the fall of trees and vegetation on equipment and power lines. The company is working with local organizations to support the Bahamas after the unimaginable catastrophic damage caused by Hurricane Dorian.  "Our thoughts remain with our neighbors in the Bahamas who continue to feel Dorian's devastation, "he said Eric Silagy, president and CEO of FPL. "Our company, like our employees will make a contribution to the Red Cross. We are also working with United Way and the Red Cross to collect supplies to help those affected and we remain ready to assist when Bahamas start rebuilding. "
"The dangerous hurricane Dorian continues to stir the northeast coast of Florida, with winds of tropical storm force extending 175 miles from downtown, many customers in the northeastern part of the state continue to be affected by this powerful storm," said Silagy. "Even when it is not safe for our team to work in the most severe weather, our investments in smart grid technology, underground and the strengthening of the power grid, allow us to restore energy faster and avoid thousands of interruptions of the electrical service. It was planned, the fallen trees and the vegetation that flew against our power lines have been the main cause of power interruptions for those customers affected by the storm. We are working to find and repair the damage, so that we can restore energy to these customers". "Our team is actively responding to power outages that Hurricane Dorian has caused, and we will not stop until each client's power is restored," Silagy added. "We are also working with our mutual assistance partners in the industry. Once our customers' energy has been restored, we will reallocate resources where they are most needed, and we will help those on Dorian's path prepare to respond. as the storm travels along the coast. Security remains our top priority, and we urge all clients to remain vigilant and take their safety into account. " Clients in low-lying areas and areas affected by floods and storm surge must remain off the roads and remain indoors. Power interruptions may cause traffic signals to stop working without notice. Under Florida law, an intersection with a road sign that does not work should be treated as a four-way stop. Clients should also pay attention to Florida's "Move Over" law that requires drivers to slow down and step aside when they see a public service worker, police, paramedic or fireman on the side of the road.
