Supporting Greatness. Developing Opportunities.

 ECG’s Storm Assessor Certification offers the opportunity to attain skills necessary to become a certified storm damage accessor. Damage assessment after a disaster is critical to the restoration process. Often times, electric utilities do not have enough personnel to perform a proper assessment and restore the system. The Storm Assessor Certification class will train and certify employees to identify material and equipment that has been damaged, while emphasizing safety. Students will be required to show proficiency in identification of transformers, reclosers, disconnect switches, services, phases, and other equipment used in powerline construction. Students will also learn about basic electricity, how an electric system works, step and touch potential, and the process of restoring the electric system after a disaster.
