As part of the Montgomery County area, Willis is no stranger to the risks of Gulf hurricanes and severe weather events. The fact that Entergy has invested in infrastructure improvements, including upgrading utility poles and conducting vegetation management, is a welcome development for local residents who rely on a stable power grid. The company's emphasis on proactive preparation, including regular emergency response drills, also bodes well for the community.
