As Hurricane Dorian approaches our Southeastern coastline, your leadership in assisting communities restoring power  is greatly appreciated.  Protecting yourself during storm preparation and recovery operations is more important than ever. Those working to protect public safety must also remain safe while doing their jobs.

OSHA stands ready to help today and in the coming days as conditions remain hazardous. Our toll-free number (800-321-6742) is available 24 hours-a-day and OSHA.gov has resources for hurricane preparedness and response. 

Thank you for all your work to restore our communities.

Loren Sweatt, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary,
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
