Fire Safety Outage Management at Chelan County using Risk Mitigation and Forecast Alerts
About
Wildfires are an increasing risk to transmission and distribution utilities in the American West and around the world. At Chelan County Public Utility District in Washington State, our Fire Safety Outage Management group leverages available fire data and expert analysis along with forecasts and notifications to make informed, data-driven decisions about fire mitigation strategies and risk. In this presentation we will discuss our risk assessments, mitigation plan, and how the PI System integrates data sources, analyses, and digital notification systems in production today. We will discuss the PI System has many benefits and helps give the Fire Safety Outage Management group advance notice of when to consider public safety power shutoffs.
