Proceedings: Wide-area disaster preparedness conference
Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) member utilities were among those challenged by the natural disasters of 1989, Hurricane Hugo and the Loma Prieta Earthquake. There were valuable experiences that came out of those ordeals, and this workshop was organized to capture as much of those useful lessons as possible. NERC and EEI have long made disaster planning a part of their programs, and those utilities which can participate in their programs should do so. It was thought that an EPRI conference would be valuable in addition to these ongoing programs because (1) not all EPRI members are eligible for EEI membership, and (2) we were interested in covering some aspects not addressed by NRC. The papers presented here were prepared by the most knowledgeable men and women we could locate to share their experiences, plans and thoughts about each particular aspect of disaster planning. Using their ideas as a basis, we can make prudent plans for the unexpected disasters which the future undoubtedly holds. Individual papers have been cataloged separately.
