"The Heat/Health Watch Warning System is the first and only meteorological
tool that identifies oppressive air masses that historically diminish people's
health," said Laurence Kalkstein, PhD.
The new study, "After the Disaster: Utility Restoration Cost Recovery,"
outlines steps it encourages electric utilities and state regulators to
consider in establishing concrete, stable mechanisms to plan for and mitigate
the massive cost of rebuilding electric systems following a major weather
event.
After a powerful hurricane , ice storm or other severe weather event
damages their electric systems, utilities launch massive , round-the-clock
restoration efforts to restore power as quickly as possible. However, in some cases these restoration funds are quickly
exhausted as was the case for many of the utilities serving areas impacted by
last year's series of hurricanes.
