While the Incident Command System (ICS) is most commonly associated with wildfire response, its scalable, all-hazards framework is equally applicable to complex utility-driven events such as Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS). As utilities face increasing operational risk from extreme weather, the ability to operationalize PSPS within a formal ICS structure has become essential for maintaining span of control, documentation integrity, and cross-functional coordination.

Please join Peter Pavao from Filsinger Energy Partners as he discusses how ICS can be effectively adapted beyond wildfire response and applied to PSPS events. Drawing on practical implementation experience, the session will explore how utilities can structure PSPS activations within ICS, customize forms and documentation to reflect utility-specific operational needs, and institutionalize best practices across departments.

Topics will include:

• Applying ICS principles to non-wildfire operational events
• Structuring PSPS within an ICS framework 
• Customizing ICS forms for utility PSPS operations
• Documentation, decision logs, and regulatory defensibility during PSPS activations
• Practical implementation lessons and organizational challenges observed in the field

This webinar is intended for utility emergency managers, system operators, risk managers, compliance leaders, planners, and others responsible for PSPS execution, incident documentation, and cross-functional coordination.
