Severe weather changes how utility field teams work, but the safety challenges are often the same. Hurricane restoration, wildfire response and winter storms all stretch crews across wider areas, bring mutual-aid teams into unfamiliar locations and keep conditions changing long after the morning briefing. In this webinar, Scott Witte and Rebecca Overman from OK Alone follow one storm from first warning to full restoration. They show how critical events management helps safety and operations teams warn crews as hazards move, notify them when heat becomes a risk, and confirm who has seen urgent messages.
Learning Objectives:
- A clear picture of how severe weather changes field risk, from larger work areas and unfamiliar mutual-aid crews to multi-day shifts and hazards that move after a job is assigned.
- How Alert Zone Intelligence gives crews earlier warning of weather alerts, verified public safety incidents such as road and bridge closures, and organization-defined danger zones.
- How OSHA Heat Zones notify workers when state heat thresholds are reached, a risk that builds quietly during long restoration shifts.
- How Team Broadcast turns “we sent an alert” into “we know who has seen it,” with sent, read, and acknowledged tracking and a clear list of who needs a follow-up call.
- A five-step framework for linking risk, communication and escalation before the next hurricane, wildfire or winter storm.

This is a must-attend event for operations managers, utility leaders, and anyone involved in safety. We encourage you to forward this webinar to the relevant executive and training stakeholders on your team.
Time will be dedicated at the end of the discussion to answer live audience questions.
Attendance worth 1 contact hour for certification/CUSP maintenance.
