Should your utility invest in community resilience hubs?

Key takeaways

  • Resilience hubs provide resources and physical space to enhance community resilience before, during, and after extreme weather events and other emergencies while also providing everyday social connection and value.
  • A core component of a resilience hub is having cost-effective on-site power systems capable of reliably sustaining operations during an extended power outage.
  • By partnering with resilience hub organizers, utilities can provide critical community support in ways that also align with company goals.
  • A well-designed resilience hub meets the unique needs of the local community and earns the support of trusted community organizations and community leaders.
  • Utilities should understand resilience hub goals and budgets before making support commitments to make sure community and company goals align.
