EXPERT REVIEWS · WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLANS

Plans that hold upwhen the fire comes.

Readiness reviews and independent expert analysis of wildfire mitigation plans for utilities and land managers, in any state, delivered in 4–6 weeks.

TWO WAYS WE HELP

The right review for where you file

Plan readiness review

For utilities and land managers building or updating a plan. We review it against current expectations and field realities, so it's strong before anyone else sees it.

Independent expert analysis

For states that require an independent expert's analysis with the filing, such as Texas. A filing-ready analysis from an evaluator who didn't help write the plan.

WHAT WE REVIEW

Every element of the plan

Checked against what regulators expect and against what actually happens in the field.

01

Regulatory requirements

Does the plan cover every element your state or regulator expects, and is it documented to hold up to review?

02

Risk methodology

Risk areas, data sources and prioritization logic: are they sound, current and defensible?

03

Vegetation management

Cycles, clearances, hazard trees and how work is tracked to completion.

04

Inspections & hardening

Asset inspections and system hardening, tied back to the risk they reduce.

05

Operations in fire weather

Operating protocols during elevated fire weather, including de-energization.

06

Situational awareness

Weather, cameras, sensors and how information reaches the people making decisions.

07

Coordination & outreach

Fire agencies, emergency managers, Tribes and the communities you serve.

08

A roadmap to close the gaps

Findings you can act on, prioritized for your next plan cycle.

HOW A REVIEW RUNS

  4. 04Draft findingsShared early so there are no surprises in the final.
  5. 05Final report & briefingA filing-ready report and a briefing for leadership or your board.
