“Protecting Utility Workers in Severe Weather – Critical Events Management for Field Crews”
Which will include:
- 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.
