Community Storm Shelters

Programs that provide temporary shelter in facilities that are designed or retrofitted to withstand tornado or hurricane force winds and sited away from potential debris hazards for people whose own homes or workplaces may be unsafe in extreme weather events. Included are single-purpose, stand-alone facilities specifically built as severe storm refuges and multipurpose buildings such as schools and hospitals with pre-identified safe areas that are opened to the public during severe weather.

Post Disaster Electrical Power Restoration Teams

Teams of electrical services workers that coordinate and support the ability of energy producers to quickly restore electrical power to affected areas following a disaster or other emergency that has created outages. The teams are usually activated through power company mutual aid agreements. The assignment of personnel and equipment are dependent upon availability of the releasing mutual aid partner, and have an agreed timeframe for the release of these resources. The host recipients provide or assist with accommodations for the duration of the team stay. Members must have the experience and financial capabilities to support equipment and personnel and maintain operations for an indefinite period of time. Essential customers such as hospitals, power plants, water plants, wastewater treatment plants, wastewater lift stations, law enforcement and fire stations generally receive priority.
