CTC Technology & Energy has kicked off its project to develop an emergency communications plan for the Tennessee Valley Public Power Association (TVPPA). Following an information-gathering session with TVPPA members and stakeholders, CTC is conducting a survey of association members to gauge their current state of emergency preparedness, anticipated communications needs, and obstacles to regional cooperation. CTC will also assess the current emergency communications processes among the utilities, and develop solutions based on the members’ current and potential resources.
