Siksukr is correct to a point, the power company is responsible to the meter. In my case the highest point of service IS the meter (underground service).
But, there is more to this repair than just stapling the weather head back up.
Your electrician will show up to do the work, the NHEC tech will also need to be there to disconnect service to your home from the pole (it likely has already been disconnected) and will need to inspect the service to the meter for damage to the line. They will not reconnect your service until the electrician has checked the panel for damage and everything is back in place. If they were to just show up, put up the weather head and turn the power back on, they open themselves up for a lawsuit when your panel arcs due to the main feed having been pulled out when the limb fell.
Remember that the field techs are not the ones answering the phone, they are very helpful and nice folks that are just doing their job, as ordered by the folks answering the phones!
We deal with PSNH and NHEC all the time in my line of work (not on islands though). The issue you have is very common.
Repair the siding now, before you schedule any of the electrical work. Your electrician and the NHEC tech are not carpenters and they cannot perform their tasks until everything is ready.
