In this episode of Co-op Conversations with DEMCO, host David Latona sits down with Mark Phillips, DEMCO’s Chief Engineering and Operations Officer, to discuss what it really takes to be storm-ready—long before a hurricane is in the forecast.

Mark explains how DEMCO prepares year-round to ensure fast, safe response when severe weather strikes. From routine inspections and vegetation management to stocking materials and training crews, storm prep at DEMCO is a steady, behind-the-scenes effort. You’ll also learn why burying lines isn’t always the best solution, how DEMCO supports its crews during emergency events, and how our rural co-op’s unique geography impacts storm readiness.

It’s not about scrambling at the last minute—it’s about staying ready every day. Tune in to hear how preparation today protects members tomorrow.

And be sure to join us in the next episode, where we walk through the power restoration process after a storm and answer some of our members’ most frequently asked questions.
