Three Nebraska utilities recently joined the Nebraska Municipal Power Pool’s Mutual Aid Program.

The City of Grand Island, City of Wymore and City of Beaver City all signed agreements to participate in the mutual aid program.

The program, which partners with the League of Nebraska Municipalities, was developed years ago with the vision of helping communities in need through mutual assistance.

NMPP staff coordinates utility crews, trucks and equipment necessary to repair or replace electric distribution systems damaged by storms. Mutual aid requests can be made through NMPP’s Operations app for Android and Apple phones as well as the NMPP Operations website for desktop use.

Currently there are 72 Nebraska communities participating in the program along with seven Colorado communities and two Kansas communities.

Requirements for communities to participate include utilities signing a program agreement, providing documentation of equipment and applicable insurance and completing a data request survey.
