Post from Great Lakes Energy:
For those in need from the ice storm in our northern territory, and who are able to travel (please do so carefully), here’s a list of available warming shelters. We’ll continue to update this post as more locations become available.
We are incredibly grateful for all the kind words, thoughts, and prayers during this devastating ice storm in our northern territory. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Multiple crews—from other GLE outposts, contractors, mutual aid from fellow cooperatives, and tree crews—are working tirelessly, safely, and efficiently. However, full restoration will take multiple days.
Thank you for your continued patience and support as we work through these challenging conditions. ❤️
