          	<p>With <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/hurricane-irma/hurricane-irma-has-miami-its-sights-after-cutting-deadly-swath-n799476" target="_blank">Hurricane Irma forecast to slam Miami, Florida late Friday</a>, Ed Hume is extremely worried. For a week now he&rsquo;s been trying to convince his son, Ed Jr., 31, to pack up and leave his apartment in downtown Miami, to no avail.</p>

<p>His latest attempt was Thursday morning, but so far, his son plans to stay in place.</p>

<p>&ldquo;He&rsquo;s still there, trying to decide if he should go now or wait,&rdquo; said Hume, a senior project manager for Southern California Edison. &ldquo;I hope he goes. I told him that this boils down to an analysis of risk &hellip; and it&rsquo;s not going to get better.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Meteorologists are predicting Hurricane Irma will bring damaging winds of 129 mph to upwards of 159 mph. The hurricane comes as Houston is still recovering from the <a href="http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Hurricane-Harvey-Death-Toll-Hits-70-442918503.html" target="_blank">devastation of Hurricane Harvey</a> that arrived in Texas Aug. 25. So far, the number of deaths from Harvey is at 70.</p>

<p>Soon after Harvey hit Texas, Edison International began raising funds through the Edison International Relief Fund. To date, employees &mdash; many with relatives in the affected areas of Houston &mdash; and the company have raised $128,409 to help the victims of Hurricane Harvey. Employees are also holding fundraisers and donating directly to the <a href="https://www.redcross.org/donate/hurricane-harvey?scode=RSG00000E017&amp;utm_campaign=Harvey&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw3MPNBRDjARIsAOYU6x9ADP-bcoIe1Jo7GsMGBoAgjo4UepK_tHNpDue_RmISB9rH-bmXLxMaAgxgEALw_wcB&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds&amp;dclid=CJGL78WblNYCFZd_YgodHMMIUg" target="_blank">American Red Cross</a>.</p>

<p>&ldquo;I think that is awesome,&rdquo; said Ilianna Romero, an SCE energy advisor in the Customer Contact Center, of her company&rsquo;s relief fund. Her cousin, Amie Rodriguez, 25, evacuated her Houston home with her family just before Harvey hit. With the help of her co-workers, Romero organized a recent event to raise money for the hurricane victims.</p>

<div class="textImage-captionBody" style="padding: 3px 0px; clear: both;">Joey Rodriguez pulls a raft with supplies during Hurricane Harvey. &nbsp; &nbsp; <em>Photo courtesy of Ilianna Romero</em></div>
</div>

<p><br />
Romero&rsquo;s cousin is seven months pregnant, but packed and left with her son, 3, and daughter, 1, before the hurricane&rsquo;s worst impact was felt. Her husband, Joey Rodriguez,&nbsp;stayed behind a few days longer, sending pictures of himself pulling a raft around as he gathered supplies.</p>

<p>The family is now all safe in Dallas with relatives.</p>

<p>&ldquo;She was really scared,&rdquo; said Romero of her cousin who she kept in touch with regularly before and during the hurricane. &ldquo;I watched the news and I was scared for her.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Like Romero, Tammy Tumbling, SCE director of government relations in Local Public Affairs, spent hours monitoring the news as two of her children &mdash; Amanda, 20, and Ashton, 22, &mdash; were in Houston visiting relatives as Hurricane Harvey made landfall.</p>

<p>&ldquo;As a mom, I was really worried those first few days,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;I wanted to fly them home immediately.&rdquo;</p>

<p>As one of the SCE employees who volunteered with the American Red Cross during Hurricane Sandy in 2012, emergency preparedness was something Tumbling taught her children from a young age. They knew to have extra water, fresh batteries for their flashlights and emergency backpacks.</p>

<p>Once Hurricane Harvey hit, the streets were flooded and Tumbling&rsquo;s children stayed put as they waited for the water to recede. Power went out intermittently for a few days, but the area now has electricity. They&nbsp;are now safe and back in school.</p>

<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s important to be prepared,&rdquo; said Tumbling. &ldquo;So many people during Hurricane Sandy were not.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Edison employees can continue to contribute funds to the <a href="https://eix.yourcause.com/auth?et_cid=20170831_Pedro+on+Hurricane+Harvey+Relief+Effort&amp;et_rid=58614585" target="_blank">Edison International Relief Fund</a> until Sept. 29. Donations for the hurricane victims can also be made through the <a href="https://www.redcross.org/donate/hurricane-harvey?scode=RSG00000E017&amp;utm_campaign=Harvey&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw3MPNBRDjARIsAOYU6x9YEsPiC6lIrGH_uKwQACHAGJle5RTbHkbrbS6XjH4suMNbkA-OA7EaAtQmEALw_wcB&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds&amp;dclid=COvz5MqKlNYCFcEWYgoduiME3A" target="_blank">American Red Cross</a>.</p>
