In and around The Pontchartrain Center in Kenner, approximately 1,500 to 2,000 Entergy employees, tree trimmers, caterers and others have formed a small city from which they are working to restore power to the larger one outside. It’s not the only such Entergy-driven compound in the metro area, with two similar staging grounds on the West Bank, but it is the first and largest, and one whose population, according to Entergy officials, may swell to as many as 4,000 people by the time the lights are turned back on....

Entergy corporate communications specialist Mike Duhe, who served in the Air Force and is still in the Reserve, said, "This all reminds me of a military operation. It’s a well-oiled machine and everyone’s doing what they need to do."

That sentiment was echoed by [Entergy staging site manager Joe] Catalanotto. "I have been through a lot of emergency situations, but never one this large or one with such cooperation and teamwork. And there is no way in the world we could get this done without it. Everyone knows what they’ve got to do and they just go do it."


Give a solid A-PLUS to ENTERGY!
