Davey Helps Communities Restore Power After Hurricanes Helene & Milton

Hurricanes Helene & Milton

Davey mobilized over 800 employees in five states to help clear fallen trees and limbs from utility rights-of-way, roadways, and other areas to help restore power.

The Challenge

Hurricanes Helene and Milton hit the Southeastern U.S. less than two weeks apart in the fall of 2024. Strong winds and heavy rain caused devastating damage, including extreme flooding to homes, businesses, and public infrastructure in Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas.

Davey mobilized crews from regional offices nationwide to help restore power in communities affected by the storms. They removed vegetation debris, such as uprooted trees and hazardous limbs, from roadways, buildings, and utility lines.

The Solution

Davey sent over 800 employees to the states affected by the storms, in addition to the 400 employees who permanently reside in the South that were aiding in recovery efforts for their own communities. Other Davey utility service lines sent over 1300 employees to the affected states.

Overall, Davey provided support to 23 utility entities, including several companies that had no previous working relationship with Davey before the storms. Restoration efforts lasted over four weeks across five states.

The Results

Davey’s ability to mobilize a large number of crews quickly helped the communities affected by devastating hurricanes restore power as soon as possible, the first step in restoring the lives of those impacted.

Crews have since revisited several sites for secondary restoration efforts, ensuring the areas affected by the storms are put back to rights while re-establishing their communities.
