Disaster planning and mitigation technologies, interim technology inventory report. Interim report
Natural and person-caused disasters are increasing in frequency and magnitude, and these disasters are taking an ever increasing economic and personal toll. This report identifies technologies that can help utilities, their customers, and their communities cope with disasters. The objective was to provide concise and directed product information that can help member utilities and the communities they serve to plan for, mitigate, and recover quickly from natural and person-caused disasters. This will enable them to retain customers and reduce revenue losses. The project team identified technologies relevant to natural and person-caused disasters by searching both hard copy and electronic files from EPRI, the Public or Government sector, and the Private of Commercial Sector. The team evaluated technologies potentially suitable for inclusion in the inventory against a set of selection criteria and presented them in a standard format. The report contains fourteen Technology Information Briefs in final draft form. A Technology Information Brief is a document that describes in some detail a challenge of problem to be overcome; a solution presented by the subject technology; and, when available, cost and application experience for the products chosen. In addition, the report has a Hot Topics chapter, and chapters on both Relevant Publications and Internet Addresses.
