From there, it will be determined where their services are needed.

Their main duties will include restoring electricity to homes and businesses in the path of the storm. 

That could include locations in Florida, Georgia and beyond.

Just before they got on the road, crew members attended a briefing with management, including President and CEO Paula Gold-Williams. 

She reminded them to keep safety in mind as they work to help others.

The crew members, who volunteered for the assignment, are expected to be gone up to two weeks.
