Strengthen the Infrastructure Distribution – Pole Inspections FPL Owns Over 1.1 Million Poles Completed Over 140,000 in 2007; Same for 2008 Working Throughout Entire FPL System Working with Joint Pole Owners Infrastructure Communication Organization Restoration
Strengthen the Infrastructure Transmission - Inspections 64,000 Structures System-Wide Inspected Over 13,500 Structures in 2007 Before June 1, 2008, Inspect All Critical 500kV Lines & Facilities Serving Distribution CIF Projects Complete at Least 1/6th of System in 2008 Infrastructure Communication Organization Restoration
Strengthen the Infrastructure Distribution – Vegetation Mgmt. Feeders - 3-year Average Trim Cycle Laterals - 6-year Average Trim Cycle Before June 1 - Clear Top CIF Encourage Right Tree Right Place Infrastructure Communication Organization Restoration
Strengthen the Infrastructure Transmission – Vegetation Mgmt. 2007 Completed Clearing on 100% of FPL’s Transmission Right of Way 2008 Complete Clearing on 100% of FPL’s Transmission Right of Way Infrastructure Communication Organization Restoration
Preparing the Storm Organization Roles Identified and Staffed Training Updated Training Conducted Forensic Teams Infrastructure Communication Organization Restoration
Refine the Restoration Plan Main Objective - Safely Restore in the Shortest Time Resource Plans in Place Logistics Foreign Utilities & Contract Crews Inventories Improved Systems Refined Recovery Plan Infrastructure Communication Organization Restoration
Enhance Communications FPL / County EOC Meetings Increased Governmental & Community Communications More Accurate Estimated Restoration Times Infrastructure Communication Organization Restoration
Areas of Concern or Vulnerability Hardening - Multi-Year Effort Multiple Storms Catastrophic Storms Insufficient Resources Infrastructure Communication Organization Restoration
Summary Infrastructure Strengthened Organization Prepared Hardening; Vegetation; Pole Inspections Organization Prepared Trained and Ready Restoration Plan Tested/Refined Lessons Learned; Technology; Forensics Communications Enhanced Better Information Infrastructure Communication Organization Restoration
