Abstract:
A system and method of this disclosure identifies and prioritizes utility services infrastructure assets and other structures located within a selected service territory that may be potentially impacted by a natural hazard event. The method dynamically displays a map on a graphical user interface, the map containing virtual representations of the utility services infrastructure assets, the non-utility services structures, and a magnitude of the natural hazard event in relation to those assets and structures. Using one of more predetermined rules, a prioritized list of the utility services infrastructure assets that should be inspected within the selected service territory may be dynamically generated. The predetermined rules may include a likelihood of damage and a consequence severity such as, but not limited to, effect on service or public health or safety. Users may be automatically notified when a magnitude of the event is at least as great as a predetermined threshold.
