We received an inquiry the other day from a Yukoner who asked about our contingency plans in the event of an influenza pandemic. This person was concerned that if a substantial number of Yukon Energy employees are off work because of the flu, and there’s a power outage, it will take much longer than usual to restore power.
It’s a good question. The short answer is that Yukon Energy will continue to provide essential electrical services to our customers throughout any pandemic flu period. That includes restoring power as quickly and safely as possible during outages.
We have a comprehensive influenza pandemic plan that identifies back-up personnel in all essential areas. The plan outlines how we can continue providing Yukoners with essential services. It also lays out practices aimed at protecting as much as possible the health of our staff and customers.
Do you have a question for Yukon Energy? Let us know and we'll do our best to answer it to your satisfaction.
