Winter Storm Uri 2021

Only 60 Generator to Texts During Power Crisis

Winter storm Uri is only a latest example of the disconnect between need and assistance.  FEMA can only respond to requests from the States.  

Winter storm Uri is only a latest example of the disconnect between need and assistance.  FEMA can only respond to requests from the States.  If State Officials cannot identify what equipment [generators] is needed, a request cannot be submitted to FEMA.  At a glance, the ELG platform map displays utility power status and if the location is running on generator power.  A simple click of the mouse displays generator requirements for that location, including type of connection to the building, minimum generator size, cables required, fuel options and more.  ELG-ERP is the opportunity to break down barriers between public and private sectors.  It is flexible, scalable, transparent and efficient with a focus on business as usual in the most difficult times. Working together will minimize loss and suffering in the future.
