When a patient arrives in the emergency room, success depends on more than speed—it requires clear priorities, shared situational awareness, coordinated teams, and confident decision-making under pressure. Storm response demands the same discipline. In this webinar, we'll explore what utility leaders can learn from emergency medicine to improve restoration operations, coordinate internal and external crews, and make operational decisions that stand up to executive and regulatory scrutiny.
What You'll Learn
- Why emergency room principles like triage, situational awareness, and coordinated execution translate directly to utility storm response.
- How to improve operational decision-making across utility crews, contractors, and mutual aid organizations while maintaining a shared view of changing field conditions.
- How to create a more defensible restoration process with greater visibility, documentation, and coordination that supports executive oversight, regulatory review, and continuous improvement.
