Emergency Preparedness

Preparing for the Unexpected

Severe weather, power surges, grid outages, and more, can all cause electrical emergencies — making emergency preparedness a significant consideration in any project.

For electrical professionals, delivering reliable power, lighting, and safety systems are paramount. These solutions play a vital role in protecting occupants, while minimizing disruptions during unexpected events. They also strengthen project resilience — and protect your bottom line.

✔ Fact Check

Since 1980, the U.S. has experienced more than 400 weather and climate disasters causing over $1 billion each in damage — and resulting in over $2.9 trillion in total losses — much of it impacting critical infrastructure such as power systems, transportation, and utilities.

✔ Four Keys to Emergency Readiness

  1. Plan for Backup Power
    Identifying backup power needs, such as generators, transfer switches, exterior emergency disconnects, and critical distribution systems, helps avoid costly redesigns, meets code requirements, and ensures essential systems remain operational during outages.

  2. Specify Emergency Lighting/Life Safety Systems
    Code-compliant emergency lighting, exit signage, and other life safety systems are fundamental for occupant safety when a building loses power.

  3. Build Resilient Power Infrastructure
    Surge protection, redundant power pathways, and durable distribution equipment help protect buildings from unexpected power disruptions, reducing damage, downtime, and costly repairs.

  4. Ensure Access to Critical Products
    Working with a trusted distribution partner helps you access the products you need, when you need them.
