“We have prepared our response teams and identified strategic standby locations to ensure that we can immediately address any power-related concerns during the Undas observance. Our teams will be monitoring critical areas, particularly cemeteries and memorial parks where we expect increased public activity. We want to ensure that our distribution facilities remain reliable and that our personnel are ready to respond whenever needed,” Dalian said.
