It now seems the question has changed from if another event like 1996 and now 2007 will occur, but when it will occur again. We need to make sure as an essential service provider, that we are in a position to be able to continu- ously provide electricity as long as humanly possible. To do so we must take action to relocate our substation and offices to a safer location. We can empathize with our members who have also been hit by this latest disaster and our prayers and thoughts are with you. Four of our own staff and crews have lost much or all, as well. We have witnessed a tremendous outpouring of help, service, and support from inside and outside of our com- munity. I truly believe that as the saying goes, “United we stand, divided we fall,” we can and will rise up once again if we all continue to pull together and a community. We are after all Vernonians. We are re- silient, we are strong, and we are united. As a member- owned electric cooperative, we will do our part to assist in this rebirth and rebuilding of our town and our community.
