MAYOR ED GAINEY ASKING FOR THE  PUBLIC'S PATIENCE TONIGHT AND  EXPLAINING SOME OF THE  ADDITIONAL STEPS TAKEN BY THE  CITY TO SUPPORT THE CREWS, HE  SAID THE CITY HAS EMBEDDED  FIREFIGHTERS INTO FIVE PUBLIC  WORKS CREWS TO CONFIRM POWER  LINES ARE DEACTIVATED AND TO  HELP SPEED UP TREE REMOVAL WHERE  TREES ARE ENTANGLED WITH WIRES  TO MAKE THE JOB OF DUQUESNE  LIGHT CREWS MORE EFFICIENT.  AND IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHERE  YOUR HOME FALLS ON THE PRIORITY  LIST FOR DUQUESNE LIGHT, I ASKED  MATT STEIN TO ELABORATE ON HOW  CREWS DETERMINED THE ORDER OF  RESPONSE.  COULD SOMEBODY SPEAK MORE IN  DEPTH ABOUT HOW DUQUESNE LIGHT  DETERMINES WHICH AREAS TAKE  PRIORITY, AND IS THERE A CLEARER  WAY TO TO GIVE PEOPLE AN IDEA OF  THE TIMING?  SO OUR PRIORITIZATION RUNS  THROUGH PUBLIC SAFETY HAZARDS.  AS I SAID BEFORE.  THEN ON TO SAFETY CRITICAL  INFRASTRUCTURE SO THAT THAT CAN  BE IN DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS.  RIGHT.  DEPENDS ON WHERE A HOSPITAL MAY  BE OR A POLICE STATION.  MAYBE WE WANT TO GET THOSE  PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES BACK  ONLINE AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN.  AFTER THAT, WE GO TO MAJOR  CIRCUITS.  IT'S REALLY KIND OF TOUGH TO  TELL FOR A RESIDENT WHETHER OR  NOT THEY'RE ON A MAJOR CIRCUIT  OR NOT.  THAT'S GOING TO GO PIECE BY  PIECE, AND THEN WE'LL GET DOWN  TO THOSE SMALLER CLUSTERS THAT  MAY BE OUT, BECAUSE A ONE SET OF  WIRES IS DOWN OR SOMETHING TO  THAT EFFECT.  AND HE SAID THEY ARE LOOKING  INTO OFFERING A BROADER  ESTIMATION FOR THE REGION ON  RESTORATION OF POWER TOMORROW,  BARRING ANY SETBACKS FROM THE  INCOMING STORM.  REPORTING"}]
