It was another safe and productive day yesterday for crew members and contractors focused on our Greater Houston Resiliency Initiative. We want to again thank them as they continue to conduct this important resiliency work across our communities, and for our customers, that we are privileged to serve.

This National Dog Day, meet K9 Novak, another working dog who is helping protect our communities. We're proud to sponsor Officer Novak through the Houston Police Foundation so he can continue to receive the training and resources he needs. Thanks for your bravery Novak!

Trimming away from power lines helps keep our customers and communities safe and helps reduce the number of potential outages caused by vegetation. We’ve trimmed or removed higher-risk vegetation from 1,954 power line miles as part of the first phase of our Greater Houston Resiliency Initiative and remain focused on strengthening our grid.

On this National Dog Day, we spotlight working dogs such as Kelly, one of our natural gas leak detection sniffing dogs. Kelly goes through rigorous training to sniff out the odorant added to natural gas. She loves her job and uses her superb smelling senses and ability to access hard-to-reach areas to help keep our communities safe. Good girl Kelly! 🐾

We appreciate our crews and contractors who have worked diligently across the Greater Houston area toward our goal of becoming the most resilient coastal grid in the country. Seen here, crew members safely and collaboratively load their truck before heading to another job site.

As of today, we have successfully trimmed or removed higher-risk vegetation from 1,954 power line miles as part of the first phase of our Greater Houston Resiliency Initiative. With less than 50 power line miles to go, we’ll hit our target goal this week. This critical work will help to reduce outages from major storms and strengthen the grid for the remainder of the hurricane season.
