Storm restoration: people, technology, process

Summary form only given. Progress Energy Corporation believes the most significant key to storm restoration success is the committed and heroic efforts of Progress Energy´s employees and the many friends from neighboring utilities and utility contractors that came to our aid. Comprehensive, well-documented storm response plans are vital to being prepared. At Progress Energy, our storm plan is a living document, and it is on-line so all employees may access it to better understand their individual roles. There are four execution phase aspects we present, including: (1) storm damage modeling - resource need forecasting; (2) centralized staging and logistics; (3) damage assessment; (4) leveraging technology.
