The guidebook is intended to help COU staff identify incremental actions they can take today to:

  • Improve business continuity planning
  • Develop a framework to prioritize investments in distributed energy resources
  • Better understand the role of local utilities within the context of federal, state, and local emergency management planning.

Utility Resilience Actions

The guidebook was developed with input from several Oregon COUs, who shared their resilience actions and goals. Learn more.
