FPL Finalizing Preparations as Helene Approaches, Urges Customers to Keep Safety a Top Priority
The latest: Tropical storm and hurricane watches are already in place along parts of the Gulf Coast of Florida as Helene moves toward the coast. Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) is mobilizing a restoration workforce of thousands and finalizing preparations to restore electric service as quickly as possible. Customers throughout the state may be impacted and those in the storm's path should prepare for potential widespread, extended power outages.
最新消息: 海倫娜向海岸移動，佛羅里達州墨西哥灣沿岸已經發布熱帶風暴和颶風警報。佛州電力和光能公司（FPL）正在調動數千人的恢復力量，並最終準備儘快恢復電力服務。整個州的客戶可能會受到影響，沿風暴路徑的客戶應準備好可能會出現大面積、持續時間長的停電。
Why it matters: Helene is forecast to strengthen over the next two days. While the track is still uncertain, the storm is expected to make landfall along Florida's Gulf Coast before the end of the week. The storm brings the potential for destructive winds, heavy rains, widespread flooding and storm surge that will create restoration challenges. Customers should finalize their preparations and prioritize safety.
重要原因: 海倫娜預計在未來兩天內加強。雖然路徑仍不確定，但預計風暴將在本週結束前登陸佛羅里達墨西哥灣沿岸。風暴可能帶來破壞性風、暴雨、廣泛洪水和風暴潮，這將帶來恢復挑戰。客戶應完成準備工作並優先考慮安全。
A word from FPL President and CEO Armando Pimentel: "While there are still some unknowns with this storm, I want to assure our customers that we are ready and prepared to respond to whatever Helene brings our way. We are mobilizing and pre-positioning a workforce of thousands to restore customers' power safely and as quickly as possible. Just as importantly, as we finalize our preparations, it's crucial that our customers are also making plans for their families."
佛州電力和光能公司總裁兼首席執行官阿曼多·皮門泰爾的講話: "儘管這場風暴仍有一些不確定因素，但我要向我們的客戶保證，我們已經準備好，願意應對海倫娜可能帶來的一切。我們正在調動並預置數千人的力量，以儘快安全地恢復客戶的電力。同樣重要的是，在我們完成準備工作的同時，我們的客戶也有必要爲其家庭制定計劃。"

- Follow the advice of federal, state and local authorities. This is especially important for people living in low-lying areas and manufactured homes who may face additional challenges during a severe weather event.
- Customers dependent on electric-powered, life-sustaining medical equipment, should finalize their family emergency plan for backup power.
