A Beachview damage assessor will help compose a two-person, damage assessment team that surveys communities before and after storms strike the area(s).  This person should have a working knowledge of electrical work, especially regarding electrical distribution and transmission lines.  As a qualified assessor, this person should be able to identify what response actions need to take place after a storm strikes.
 
The information gathered will:

• Determine what responses and actions will be initiated by utility crew

• Alert neighbors to structural problems in homes and potentially dangerous neighborhood situations

• Determine whether an evacuation is needed

 
This assessor will also aid in gathering detailed, post-disaster information to be used by the electric utility’s operations center to evaluate the severity of damage and to strategize its response and recovery efforts.
