SWEPCO crews swarmed into southern Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas as Winter Storm Fern hit, setting up base camps to feed and house thousands of line and forestry workers in Texarkana, Longview, Shreveport and Natchitoches over the weekend. Crews will continue working until all power is restored across the SWEPCO service territory. SWEPCO’s External Affairs team worked closely with local leaders on warming centers during the storm as well as food donations as storm response wound down. SWEPCO delivered five pallets of food, including milk and juice cartons and boxed lunches to the Randy Sams Outreach Shelter Wednesday. In Longview, Texas, an additional seven pallets of food were donated Wednesday from the closing base camp there to Newgate Mission.
