Outage Damage Assessment can be used to perform damage assessments and respond to outages caused by severe weather conditions and emergency incidents.
Electric utilities and communication organizations have technology systems that allow customers to report outages. But after a severe weather event, or emergency incident, they need to gather field intelligence. This field intelligence helps utilities and communication organizations understand the extent of damage and quickly allocate storm restoration crews. Outage Damage Assessment is typically implemented by electric utilities and communication organizations that want to quickly assess the extent of damage, effectively allocate crews, and make informed decisions during storm restoration.
The Outage Damage Assessment solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you collect damage reports, manage field assignments, and monitor the impact of a severe weather, or emergency, incident on electric utility and communication assets.
