2026 Event Schedule

Haugland Group's emergency management team needed a system that could handle huge tasks -- like Hurricane Sandy. That system got stress-tested even further in the Virgin Islands after Hurricanes Irma and Maria, which left over 95% of the electrical infrastructure on the ground. 

This presentation will cover how Haugland managed through multiple crises, transitioning from initial damage assessments to full construction management and final energization, through the use of an agile, field-focused platform. Along the way, they'll discuss the extreme range of issues they faced and overcame: the "offline" challenge, using geospatial data to manage assets without street addresses, and providing real-time transparency to HUD and FEMA.

Key Discussion Points include:

• Improving Management Insights: Helping crews visualize progress, tracking required revisits, and optimize routing for faster restoration times.
• Streamlining Federal Compliance & Reimbursement: Providing stakeholders, such as FEMA and HUD, with full, photo-verified documentation to accelerate funding and reduce the need for audits.
• Overcoming the "No Address" Challenge: Devising strategies for tracking thousands of assets (poles, transformers, and feeders) in regions where standard addressing and navigation systems didn't exist.
• Supporting the Full Project Lifecycle: Evolving a single dataset through the lifecycle of a disaster, from initial damage assessment through construction and final energization.
• Empowering Field Operations: Making it easy for teams to create, customize, and manage their own workflows on the fly while reducing IT dependencies.
