project brief
Project brief – Supported CORE Electric Cooperative with tailored training and implementation of the Incident Command System (ICS) for electric utility operations, focusing on integrating ICS structure into day-to-day and emergency response workflows. This work aligned utility field, control center, and management roles under a common operational framework to improve coordination during storms, wildfires, and other grid emergencies.

The challenge
Translate a traditionally wildfire- and emergency-services–oriented ICS model into the specific context of electric utility operations, where restoration priorities, infrastructure complexity, and regulatory requirements add unique constraints.
project goals
Build internal ICS competency across key staff, define utility-specific ICS roles and responsibilities, and establish repeatable processes, forms, and communication pathways for incident activation and scaling.
the result
A functioning ICS framework embedded in CORE’s emergency operations, enabling more organized incident response, clearer role definition, and improved coordination between field crews, dispatch, and leadership during high-impact events.
