DAMAGE ASSESSOR
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.
