BGE is a private company, the city doesn't really have any control here. Trimming trees ahead of time, maybe, but when they're near power lines that also falls to BGE as preventative maintenance.

And I do think BGE could have been more proactive. I grew up in an area that got hit with hurricanes, the power company was out trimming dead trees and branches every spring.

I meant in terms of shelters/warming centers/communication with residents. But also agree that BGE could’ve done a lot more as well. Definitely a lot of worst case scenarios here but worst case scenarios in sub-freezing temps could equal death for more than a handful of people.
