Utility Facility Shared Practice Meeting
- February 24, 2026
- 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific
Facility Resiliency Planning is the structured process of ensuring that occupied facilities can continue to support their intended operational role under stress, degrade gracefully when stressed, and recover predictably after disruption. It is not:
- Storm restoration planning (focused on network repair, crews, logistics, and customer restoration)
- Business continuity planning (focused on business processes, people, IT systems, and recovery time objectives)
Facility resiliency sits between these domains and answers a different question:
“Will the physical facility itself enable or constrain our ability to execute storm response and business continuity plans?”
This month’s discussion was about facility resiliency: planning, proactive and reactive measures. Topics included resilient performance across different facility types, where investments are paying off, and where assumptions have failed. The discussion ranged from vulnerability assessments to proactive measures to harden facilities to reactive plans where necessary.
