Rolling with the Punches: Workforce Resiliency in the Face of Disasters, Pandemics and More

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), weather and climate disasters are at an all-time high. In 2019 alone, the US was impacted by 14 separate billion-dollar disasters consisting of floods, storms, cyclones, and wildfires. Factor in the unprecedented arrival of COVID-19, and 2020 is shaping up to be the worst year on record.

With so many potential outcomes and no way to accurately predict what will happen next, workforce resiliency has become as critical as grid resiliency. Today—quite literally—utilities must be prepared for anything.
