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.
