PSO could not be successful restoring power to a large number of customers during a natural disaster without the strong support and patience of its customers and community partners.

The company has been thanking community officials and volunteer organizations in messages in newspapers across the state. It takes more than a village. It takes a cast of thousands.

Here are just a few of the organizations across the state in many communities that helped PSO during the January 2010 ice storm.
