Hats Off to the brave men and women.
I can't imagine going into a devastated area with power lines down and debris everywhere, totally new to you as you are from "out of town", trying to sort out hot lines from cold ones, getting new poles up, wire strung, readying for power application, hoping you got it all right so that it's a seamless transition when you do, then going on to the next one.
I read up on "who pays for that type of support" and the best answer I could find was that there is a national "club" (if you will) that power companies join for the purpose of self help. Club member companies needing help contact the club who sends out the request to all the members. Funding for the effort is the supplying company.......you fund your own crews.
So, I guess we pay a little extra in our power bill every month that goes into an escrow account setup up for that purpose. That's OKFINE with me.
