TEMP-01

Protect Critical Infrastructure Vulnerable to Extreme Heat Events

Measure Summary

The County seeks to reinforce and bolster infrastructure and facilities under this measure. Increasing infrastructure resilience and reliability can reduce the frequency of power outages that can interrupt the functions of business and residences.

Action

Action TEMP-01-a: In cases where existing communication, energy, public service, and transportation facilities and infrastructure are found to be vulnerable to extreme heat, bolster and/or upgrade associated infrastructure to be more resilient to periods of high heat (e.g., use of heat-tolerant materials). Status: In Progress.

Status of Implementation

The Department of Transportation requires new signal equipment to be high-heat rated per industry standards. Existing signal parts are being replaced with high-heat rated equipment through regular maintenance programs.

SacOES works in close partnership with SMUD in coordinating during non-incident planning cycles as well as through coordination calls during activation of Phase II and III Extreme Weather events (Extreme Heat Annex) to ensure utility capacity during extreme heat events. Further we have partnered with SMUD to identify critical infrastructure prioritized for reenergization. Coordination and collaboration also take place during activations of the Emergency Operations Center. After action reports from these events are available on the OES website at https://sacoes.saccounty.gov/EmergencyManagement/Pages/Planning.aspx.
