We prepare for the annual storm and cyclone season through a comprehensive range of measures to ready the network and our staff.
| Typically we: |
|
Step up our vegetation management program in winter and spring to ensure trees are kept away from powerlines.
|
|
Significantly increase our inventories of poles, cross arms, powerlines and other hardware – essential to the supply of electricity.
|
|
Undertake a regular Summer Preparedness program to prepare our network in major centres for the storm season - substations are checked and key transmission and distribution lines are inspected.
|
|
Update, test and revise Regional Emergency Management Plans.
|
|
Train, prepare and test our staff to respond to emergency situations.
