What happened
Pepco joined the Federal Emergency Management Agency for a public awareness campaign during National Preparedness Month. Pepco noted that its investments in strengthening the local energy grid have resulted in outages occurring about 51 percent less often than a decade ago, and the company has prevented nearly 112,000 outages this year.
Why it matters
The campaign emphasizes the importance of emergency planning and highlights Pepco's efforts to modernize its energy grid. These investments aim to reduce service interruptions, which can prevent spoiled groceries and disrupted work days for customers.
