LOS ANGELES, Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A short consumer alert video, produced by Consumer Watchdog and narrated by Eaton fire survivor Ellen Snortland, warns Eaton fire survivors that the company’s new “Fast Pay” program to pay survivors may not equal “fair pay.”

“Edison’s ‘Fast Pay’ program may not be fair,” warns Snortland, a Consumer Watchdog board member and the LA Press Club’s Best Columnist and Journalist of the Year for two years in a row. “It is designed to appeal to people who need money quick, and may not realize they are giving up their right to seek many times more than they are offered.”

The video warns:

“If you are an Eaton Fire Survivor you should consider these facts when considering the ‘Fast Pay’ system and consult a lawyer:

The amounts offered by Edison are non-negotiable. Edison determines the amount unilaterally.

Expert estimates show the amount owed fire survivors based on Edison’s proposed formula can be only 53 -73% of the actual rebuilding cost for the building. 

Edison automatically subtracts the value of your insurance policy payment, even though most people are not getting what they’re owed from insurance and even if you haven’t received it. 

The plan says renters, children, and those who suffered smoke damage deserve less.”

The Edison plan was designed by Ken Feinberg, a controversial mediator who has been accused in multiple settlements of providing pennies on the dollar offers to victims in disaster funds. Edison has not disclosed how much it is paying Feinberg.

The legislature created a Wildfire Fund to backstop utilities when they spark fires, half of the fund is paid for by ratepayers and half is paid by utilities shareholders. Edison has announced its “Fast Pay” Program that draws from this wildfire fund.

Snortland concludes: “Don’t be burned twice. Talk to an attorney and beware of Edison’s Fast Fund. Fast pay doesn’t mean fair pay. Get the facts at ConsumerWatchdog.org/fastpay

“Southern Company is a great company and that starts with our 28,000 employees and their commitment to serving our customers and communities with excellence.

The World’s Most Trustworthy Companies 2025 were identified in an independent survey based on a sample of more than 65,000 participants across 23 industries and 20 countries. Survey participants rated companies headquartered in their respective country in terms of three pillars: investor trust, customer trust and employee trust. Approximately 200,000 evaluations were studied and a social listening analysis was conducted for each company that received a significant number of evaluations. This phase of the project involved a sentiment analysis of the companies on several media segments of the internet and evaluated their mentions as positive, neutral or negative. All publicly traded companies headquartered in one of the target countries with a revenue of more than 500 million USD were considered in the study.

This accolade further reflects Southern Company’s adherence to Our Values, defined as safety first, intentional inclusion, act with integrity and superior performance.

  • First FDA emergency use authorization (EUA) ever granted for NWS in dogs
  • Action reinforces agency’s commitment to providing treatment options for NWS in advance of the fly being detected in the U.S.
  • Published literature showed Credelio may be effective in treating NWS in dogsi
  • Preventing open wounds through effective flea and tick control is critical in protecting pets from NWS

INDIANAPOLIS, October 30, 2025 /3BL/ – Elanco Animal Health Incorporated (NYSE: ELAN) announced it has received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Credelio™ (lotilaner) to treat New World screwworm (NWS) infestations in dogs. This is the first EUA ever granted by the Agency for NWS in dogs. Confirmed cases of NWS have been detected less than 70 miles south of the U.S.-Mexico border.ii This Emergency Use Authorization allows veterinarians and pet owners to have a ready-now treatment option if the fly enters the U.S.

“We appreciate the FDA’s review of the scientific data demonstrating that Credelio may be an effective treatment against New World screwworm in dogs,” said Dr. Ellen de Brabander, Executive Vice President of Innovation and Regulatory Affairs at Elanco. “This first ever Emergency Use Authorization for NWS in dogs gives veterinarians and pet owners peace of mind, knowing there’s an authorized treatment option available as soon as they may need it.”

The Emergency Use Authorization was based on a study evaluating the efficacy of Credelio against NWS. In the peer-reviewed study, published in Parasites & Vectors, oral administration of Credelio at the minimum recommended dosage demonstrated 100% efficacy against C. hominivorax larvae (NWS) within 24 hours of treatment in naturally infested dogs.i

There are limitations of the data supporting the benefits of Credelio for the treatment of infestations caused by NWS larvae. The study was conducted in a limited population of eleven naturally infested dogs in Brazil, and the inferential value to the United States population is unknown. The primary mechanism of action against C. hominivorax appears to be live larval expulsion. Additionally, the use of mechanical removal coupled with the lack of a control group confound the ability to define a pure treatment effect.

Effective Parasite Protection is Key

Even before NWS enters our country, veterinarians and pet owners can take precautions to prevent wounds that can create ideal conditions for NWS infection. NWS infestations begin when a female NWS fly lays eggs on open wounds or other parts of the body in live, warm-blooded animals. According to the Centers for Disease Control, wounds as small as a tick bite may attract a female fly to feed and lay her eggs. One female can lay 200 – 300 eggs at a time and may lay up to 1,000 eggs during her 10- to 30-day lifespan.iii Unlike most fly species whose larvae may feed on dead and decaying tissue, NWS larvae burrow into the flesh of living animals, causing severe tissue damage and even death if left untreated.

The U.S. Animal Plant Health and Inspection Service (APHIS) recommends that one way to prevent NWS infestations is to protect pets and livestock from other wound-causing parasites such as flies and ticks.iv

“Any break in the skin – from a scratch to a surgical incision – can become an entry point for NWS, due to its aggressive and invasive nature,” said Dr. Casey Locklear, Texas-based veterinarian and parasiticide lead at Elanco. “Preventing or rapidly treating existing wounds is critical to protecting pets from NWS. One way to limit self-inflicted scratching includes using year-round flea and tick protection, such as Credelio.” Learn more about Credelio here.

CREDELIO INDICATIONS

As part of its nationwide bicentennial celebration, KeyBank joined the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Women’s Enterprise Development Center (WEDC) to celebrate 200 years of helping individuals, businesses and communities thrive. The event, held at KeyBank’s Arlington–Poughkeepsie branch, highlighted the bank’s enduring legacy of community investment across the Hudson Valley.

“This anniversary is not just about longevity—it’s about purpose,” said KeyBank Hudson Valley/Metro New York President John Manginelli. “For two centuries, KeyBank has helped clients and communities build brighter financial futures. That legacy continues today through partnerships that empower people and strengthen local economies.”

In recognition of its bicentennial, KeyBank announced a $23,000 grant to the Women’s Enterprise Development Center (WEDC) to support its Entrepreneur Training Program—an initiative that provides business education, mentoring and access to capital for women entrepreneurs throughout the Hudson Valley.

“We’re honored to partner with KeyBank in empowering women entrepreneurs across the Hudson Valley,” said WEDC CEO Nikki Hahn. “This support directly impacts our ability to equip women with the knowledge, confidence and resources they need to start and grow successful businesses. Together, we’re creating pathways to financial independence and long-term community prosperity.”

The ceremony also featured remarks from Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce CEO Frank Castella, Jr.; Poughkeepsie Mayor Yvonne Flowers; Lydia Biskup, Chief of Staff for NY State Senator Ron Rolison; and County Executive Sue Serino, each recognizing KeyBank’s bicentennial and its contributions to Dutchess County’s economic vitality.

“For 200 years, KeyBank has shown what it means to be a true community partner,” Castella said. “KeyBank’s commitment to local businesses, entrepreneurs and nonprofits strengthens the economic foundation of Dutchess County and the entire Hudson Valley. We’re proud to celebrate this milestone together.”

Earlier this year, KeyBank awarded a $200,000 philanthropic grant to Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) of NY. The grant was part of a program designed to celebrate KeyBank’s bicentennial and strengthen Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and foundations that play a critical role in fostering economic opportunity and strengthening communities.
