ST. PETERSBURG, Florida – Duke Energy today released all outside workers who traveled to Florida preparing to participate in the recovery of Hurricane Dorian energy in the state.

The 2,200 crews and subcontractors of Duke Energy Florida are able to cope with any other power outages related to Hurricane Dorian that occurs today.

Duke Energy's contingent workers in the Midwest will travel to the Carolinas today to help restore energy after the hurricane's projected impact on these states.

The company prepared for the impact of Hurricane Dorian in Florida, which could potentially cause catastrophic damage and blackouts to the state, bringing in about 4,300 crews before the storm.

With the latest hurricane forecast of Hurricane Dorian in Florida and its minimal impact, Duke Energy continued to assess the staffing needs of its staff to deal with customer outages in that state. The company's personnel resources have been "adapted" to restore power as quickly and as surely as possible for Florida customers.
