Utility EOC Emergency Insights

Maximize the effectiveness of emergency operations with real-time data that provide clear insights for informed decision-making during critical situations, efficient management of Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS), and minimized downtime. Equip your team for future events with advanced emergency simulation tools that accurately replicate scenarios, enhancing their ability to respond effectively in high-pressure situations.

Leveraging the AWS Well Architected Framework, we centered our approach around Kubernetes, the cloud-native de facto standard to deploy and operate containerized applications. This approach, along with the myriad other AWS tools. Including Fargate, AWS Global Accelerator, and AWS Cognito, enables the deployment of software images across cloud providers while remaining serverless, thus avoiding traditional sys-ops patching and upgrading of operating systems.

Below are some examples of the applications’ functionality: -Monitor weather and electrical circuit information to help make decisions on PSPS de-energizations during an EOC activation. -Display current distribution electrical outages in the service territory. -Monitor real-time air quality index to notify field staff when to use the appropriate ventilation mask if the safety threshold is exceeded. -Communicate PSPS outage details to utility partners during fire season.
