FirstEnergy Utilities Secure Additional Resources to Respond to Tropical Storm Isaias

AKRON, Ohio, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — As part of the preparation efforts to respond to Tropical Storm Isaias, FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) utilities have secured more than 1,800 additional resources to assist in the company’s service areas expected to be impacted the most.

AKRON, Ohio, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — As part of the preparation efforts to respond to Tropical Storm Isaias, FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) utilities have secured more than 1,800 additional resources to assist in the company’s service areas expected to be impacted the most.

On Tuesday, the Tropical Storm began moving into New Jersey, as well as eastern Pennsylvania and Maryland. The storm is expected to produce heavy rains and high winds across the Jersey Central Power and Light (JCP&L), Metropolitan Edison (Met-Ed) and Potomac Edison service territories throughout the afternoon. Gusts may reach 65 mph along the coast of JCP&L’s service area and rainfall could exceed 6″ in all impacted areas.

FirstEnergy has sent resources from its utilities that are not expected to be impacted by the storm to assist in restoration efforts. In addition, JCP&L has set up staging sites in Jackson Township, Oceanport and Livingston, N.J., and secured the following additional outside resources to help restore electricity to customers who lost power due to the storm:

  • Approximately 740 line workers
  • Approximately 725 forestry contractors
  • Approximately 270 hazard responders
  • Approximately 75 damage assessors
  • Approximately 30 support personnel

Met-Ed and Potomac Edison line crews will be assisted by contractors who are currently working on transmission and distribution projects across its service areas. FirstEnergy continues to work closely with contractors and electric industry mutual assistance organizations to secure additional resources to assist with storm restoration efforts should they be needed.

As part of this mobilization effort, FirstEnergy continues to ensure the safety and health of all emergency response personnel by adhering to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines and providing access to necessary protective equipment and cleaning supplies. To safeguard the health and safety of FirstEnergy employees, contractors and the public, please respect social distancing protocols as utility personnel work around the clock to restore all power outages caused by Tropical Storm Isaias. 

During severe weather, customers who are without power are encouraged to call 1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877) to report their outage or click the «Report Outage» link on www.firstenergycorp.com. Customers should immediately report downed wires to their utility or their local police or fire department. Customers should never go near a downed power line, even if they think it is no longer carrying electricity. Extra caution should be exercised in areas where downed wires may be tangled in downed tree branches or other debris.

For updated information on the company’s current outages, FirstEnergy’s storm restoration process and tips for staying safe, visit the 24/7 Power Center at www.firstenergycorp.com/outages.

FirstEnergy encourages customers to plan ahead for the possibility of electric service interruptions by following these tips:

  • Keep flashlights and fresh batteries in your home. Avoid using candles to light your home, especially around children and pets.
  • If you have a water well and pump, keep an emergency supply of bottled water and/or fill your bathtub with fresh water.
  • Stock an emergency supply of convenience foods that do not require cooking.
  • Have a hard-wired telephone or a charged cell phone handy in the event you need to report your electricity is out. Mobile phones can be charged in your vehicle using a car charger when the power is out.
  • Gather extra blankets or a sleeping bag for each person.
  • Do not use gas stoves, kerosene heaters or other open-flame heat sources indoors. These can cause deadly carbon monoxide gas to build up in your home.
  • Keep a battery-powered radio with extra batteries on hand. Tune to a local station for current storm information.

Customer Generators

  • Emergency power generators offer an option for customers needing or wanting uninterrupted service. However, to ensure the safety of the home’s occupants as well as that of utility company employees who may be working on power lines in the area, the proper generator should be selected and installed by a qualified electrician. When operating a generator, the power coming into the home should always be disconnected. Otherwise, power from the generator could be sent back onto the utility lines, creating a hazardous situation for utility workers.

FirstEnergy customers also can subscribe to email and text message alert notifications to receive weather alerts in advance of major storms, and updates on scheduled or extended power outages. Customers can also use two-way text messaging to report outages, request updates on restoration efforts, and make other inquiries about their electric accounts. More information about these communications tools is available online at www.firstenergycorp.com/connect.

Met-Ed serves approximately 570,000 customers within 3,300 square miles of eastern and southeastern Pennsylvania. Follow Met-Ed on Twitter @Met_Ed and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/MetEdElectric.

Potomac Edison serves about 270,000 customers in seven Maryland counties and 137,000 customers in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. Follow Potomac Edison at www.potomacedison.com, on Twitter @PotomacEdison, and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/PotomacEdison.

Kroger Advances Zero-Waste Vision with New Simple Truth Recycling Program

CINCINNATI, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR), America’s favorite grocer, today announced the launch of its Simple Truth® Recycling Program, offering customers a free and simple way to recycle the flexible packaging of more than 300 products from Simple Truth, America’s largest natural and organic brand, with annual sales exceeding $2.5 billion in 2019.

…

CINCINNATI, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR), America’s favorite grocer, today announced the launch of its Simple Truth® Recycling Program, offering customers a free and simple way to recycle the flexible packaging of more than 300 products from Simple Truth, America’s largest natural and organic brand, with annual sales exceeding $2.5 billion in 2019.

Developed in partnership with international recycling leader TerraCycle, Kroger’s new platform enables customers to recycle a wide range of flexible packaging not currently accepted in curbside recycling programs, including produce bags, bread bags and plastic overwrap from household items like tissues and bottled water. The Simple Truth Recycling Program marks another significant milestone for Kroger’s Zero Hunger | Zero Waste social impact plan and establishes Kroger as the first Fortune 25 retailer to offer a free recycling program for its own private-label brand. 

«A key part of achieving our ambitious Zero Hunger | Zero Waste vision is offering our customers innovative solutions to recycle and reuse product packaging,» said Keith Dailey, group vice president of corporate affairs and chief sustainability officer. «We’re thrilled to partner with TerraCycle to launch our new Simple Truth Recycling Program, supporting our sustainable packaging goals and enabling Kroger customers to recycle their favorite Simple Truth and Simple Truth Organic products without ever leaving home.»

How the Simple Truth Recycling Program works:

  1. Sign up at TerraCycle.com/SimpleTruth
  2. Collect Simple Truth and Simple Truth Organic flexible plastic packaging (bags, pouches, liners and wraps)
  3. Ship the packaging to TerraCycle using a free, prepaid shipping label
  4. Earn points for every pound of eligible packaging sent
  5. Redeem points as donations to charitable organizations

«Thanks to companies like The Kroger Co. and their popular Simple Truth product line, consumers can enjoy their favorite foods while being rewarded for doing the right thing,» said Tom Szaky, TerraCycle founder and CEO. «As the first major retailer to create a free recycling program for their own private-label brand, Kroger is offering consumers the opportunity to divert packaging from landfills and make a positive impact on the environment for future generations.»

«Since its launch in January 2013, Simple Truth has led the way in making natural, organic and free-from foods more mainstream and accessible for customers,» said Ben Melillo, Kroger’s senior brand manager. «We know more of our customers are seeking out opportunities to reduce their environmental footprint and we’re excited to meet their needs by introducing the Simple Truth Recycling Program—an initiative that not only simplifies the recycling process, but also makes it more rewarding.»

The Simple Truth Recycling Program is currently open to individuals, schools, offices and community organizations across the U.S. The Simple Truth portfolio includes more than 2,000 natural and organic products, with hundreds of new items launching each year. To learn more about the brand, visit SimpleTruth.com.

The Kroger Co.’s Long-term Commitment to Sustainable Packaging
«Sustainable packaging is a core tenet of our Zero Hunger | Zero Waste social impact plan,» continued Dailey. «While packaging is important for preserving product quality, freshness and integrity, we also recognize the negative impact packaging—especially plastic varieties—can have on the environment. As we continue to drive progress toward our current 2020 sustainability commitments, we’re laser-focused on reducing unnecessary packaging from our enterprise, reusing where we can and striving for more sustainable packaging across our private-label portfolio.»

By the end of 2019, Kroger reduced the amount of plastic resin in Our Brands packaging by 10.1 million pounds, achieving its goal to reduce by 10 million pounds ahead of schedule.

The company’s latest sustainable packaging results will be released in Kroger’s 2020 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report this August. The annual report builds on Kroger’s 14-year history of sustainability reporting, which has tracked the company’s journey to make its operations more efficient, use resources more responsibly and improve the health, safety and well-being of the communities it serves.

READING, Pa., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — PharmaForce International, a recognized leader in pharmaceutical and biotech industry benchmarking, has just completed extensive primary research in the area of United States field medical affairs. The study focuses on leading pharmaceutical companies’ strategies for leveraging the field medical function and captures many key findings surrounding the market. Some noteworthy findings are the major changes happening to the industry’s engagement tactics.

Of note, a shift in the allocation of industry personnel has recently occurred. Select pharmaceutical companies have significantly increased their field presence across traditional Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs), payer-facing MSLs, and field Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) initiatives. Though traditional Sales channel outreach in many cases has plateaued, the investment in field medical affairs engagement has increased while becoming more specialized. Additional attention has been directed toward payers and other organized customers. One leading company, which can be found profiled with the report, now deploys more than 500 field medical personnel across therapeutic areas, ensuring that Health Care Professionals (HCPs), Payers, and all other organized customers are adequately served and supported both clinically and from a health outcomes perspective.

In addition, methods and platforms utilized for interacting with HCPs and organized customers have also changed substantially since early 2020, due in part to COVID-19. Field Medical Affairs personnel at select organizations have maintained momentum throughout these unprecedented times by leveraging a variety of virtual tools and innovative engagement concepts.

For more information on the reports mentioned above, please contact Joyce Wedemeyer at Joyce.Wedemeyer@pharmaforceintl.com or by phone at 610-370-2906.

Canadá se encuentra en una posición única para ofrecer un liderazgo de pensamiento mundial basado en las iniciativas adoptadas hasta la fecha para abordar las consideraciones de seguridad, protección y sostenibilidad en coordinación con los organismos reguladores, el Gobierno y los partícipes del sector desde su legalización del cannabis en 2018 para uso médico y recreativo.

«La experiencia de Canadá a la hora de abordar las singulares consideraciones de la producción de cannabis ha dado lugar a un llamado del sector y de los organismos reguladores para garantizar que se potencian las mejores prácticas para reducir los riesgos de salud y la seguridad de los empleados, el personal de respuesta a emergencias y el público en general», dijo Chantal Guay, directora general del Consejo de Normas de Canadá. «El Consejo de Normas de Canadá se enorgullece de asociarse con UL para facilitar este debate internacional en la ISO y desarrollar unas normas en beneficio del mercado global».

«UL está encantado de trabajar con el Consejo de Normas de Canadá para apoyar a Canadá y a la comunidad global en el desarrollo de normas para industrias emergentes como el del cannabis legalizado», señaló Joseph Hosey, vicepresidente y director general de UL Canada. «Para tener éxito en Canadá y a nivel mundial, las empresas necesitan un modelo reproducible que les ayude a proteger a sus empleados y a sus consumidores, así como a sus instalaciones». Hemos hablado con los principales actores que están desarrollando marcas de primera calidad, y para quienes la protección y la seguridad de sus operaciones es fundamental».

El taller arrancará en noviembre de 2020 y abarcará tres áreas distintas: Seguridad de las instalaciones, los equipos y las operaciones de extracción de aceite de cannabis; Manipulación segura de las instalaciones, las operaciones y el transporte de cannabis; y Guía de buenas prácticas de producción de cannabis. El objetivo del taller es publicar normas para presentarlas a la ISO como documentos iniciales para la creación de un Comité Técnico de la ISO sobre cannabis.
