Utility Reports
Safeguard Weather starts with their own report template, but they can tailor your reports to what information you need.
Icy Lines
Frozen power lines risk collapse and make repairs challenging.
Gale Winds
Strong winds damage utility poles, carry debris, and ultimately endanger workers.
Lightning Threats
Crews shutdown during electrical storms to avoid deadly strikes.
Blinding Fog
Poor visibility increases chances of accidents and slows installation and restoration work.
Wildfires & Smoke
Locations become dangerous, air quality declines, slowing work and forcing crews to wear masks and limit exertion.

High temperatures can cause heat stress, dehydration, and equipment failures.
Downed Trees
Storms fell trees blocking access, damaging lines, and creating hazardous conditions.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What to know about our utility field team weather outlooks
-
We monitor and inform you about all types of weather and systems through all seasons, that are relevant to your utility teams' locations and routes.
-
We offer reports for locations within a 20 mile radius of any city or town, with up to 4 locations for the basic package, and then an additional cost per two locations. There is not a maximum for the number of locations within the United States available for purchase.
-
Although weather applications provide weather forecasts for cities and towns, these applications tend to be impersonal by not giving you a forecaster to talk to about the relevant weather to your location.
Safeguard Weather Outlooks are provided by a meteorologist who you can talk to and ask more about the weather forecast ahead. Another advantage is that Safeguard Weather provides safety education relevant for the week's weather, for your teams to prepare them and respond properly. We offer site-specific reports and team-specific safety measure recommendations. We provide relevant diagnostics for severe weather and for applying weather safety.
