SUMMERDALE, Alabama --- Baldwin EMC is busy preparing for the possibility of Tropical Storm Isaac as he moves toward the Gulf Coast. Although Isaac’s path is not certain, Baldwin EMC officials are not taking any chances.

“We have a disaster emergency plan in place and in action,” said cooperative spokesperson Karen Moore. “We have fine-tuned our disaster plan so we can be ready to respond within a matter of hours after a storm hits and begin restoring power as quickly as possible. We want to assure our members we are prepared should Tropical Storm Isaac reach our service area.”

According to Moore, EMC officials are monitoring the storm around the clock and all crews are ready to respond if necessary. We urge members whose medical conditions require electricity to make alternate plans for their healthcare needs in the event outages are experienced.

Baldwin EMC staff will continue to watch this storm closely, and would like to remind their members to keep abreast of the storm’s development and take safety precautions in the event Tropical Storm Isaac affects Baldwin County.
