Electric utility wildfire preparedness

How Wildfire-Ready Is Your Grid?

Take the Electric Utility Wildfire Preparedness Assessment.

Wildfire preparedness starts with knowing where risks exist across your system and having a practical way to address them before they contribute to an outage or ignition event. Take this 10-question assessment to evaluate the maturity of your electric utility wildfire mitigation and inspection program, from asset visibility and thermal inspections to vegetation risk, maintenance prioritization and grid asset data. You’ll receive a Wildfire Readiness Score and recommendations for strengthening your approach to proactive grid resilience.

Answer each question based on your utility’s current inspection and wildfire-preparedness practices.

A note on privacy: The assessment considers the inspection type, data management and maintenance best practices that help utilities identify emerging risks and translate findings into action.

What you’ll evaluate

A practical look at your preparedness program

The assessment considers the inspection, data and maintenance practices that help utilities identify emerging conditions and translate findings into action.

01

Asset visibility

Coverage of pole-top conditions and other difficult-to-see components across priority assets.

02

Hot-spot detection

Use of thermal and infrared data to identify potential equipment-related ignition risks.

03

Vegetation risk

Quickly and consistently identify the "fuel" impacting the asset.

04

Centralized Asset Dataset

Actionable asset dataset with accurate GIS/location, condition, and inspection insights.

05

Maintenance priorities

Quickly identify what requires attention first to better support maintenance and budget planning.

06

Condition trends

Ability to compare inspections over time to understand how conditions evolve over time.

This assessment evaluates wildfire-preparedness program maturity. It is not a wildfire risk model, regulatory determination or guarantee of wildfire prevention.
