The Lens
New Orleans residents don’t have to wait for hurricanes or severe storms to lose power.
In the latest episode of “Behind The Lens,” the focus turns to the city’s unusually frequent fair-weather outages and the aging electrical infrastructure visible across New Orleans.
Reporter Vivi Smilgius and Lens editor Katy Reckdahl join the podcast to examine concerns about aging and failing equipment throughout the city and what those conditions may mean for the reliability of New Orleans’ power system.
The discussion looks beyond individual outages to the larger questions surrounding infrastructure, accountability and the condition of the equipment New Orleans residents depend on every day.
