According to Jeff Randall, “Everything we're doing is sort of state of the art when it comes to search and rescue. The Plum Case has helped our search timeframe by enabling us to get real-time data exceptionally fast, immediately in some instances. Before we had on-site connectivity with our Plum Case, we had to come back to base camp, debrief, and manually map GPS coordinates which takes time. Now with Plum, we get that data in real-time. The bottom line is that in search and rescue timely information is critical and the Plum Case has the potential to help save lives.” Read the case study, https://buff.ly/4bLt72p

What is Damage.LA.Gov? Damage.LA.Gov is a Virtual Louisiana initiative and damage reporting process launched by GOHSEP in the spring of 2020. It gives the citizens of Louisiana access to self-report damages in the aftermath of significant disasters including hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, wildfires, and winter weather.

My first actual linkedin post after being an avid reader for a while, but here goes! Today water companies across the UK have made a big step forward in promoting visibility into Storm Overflow spilling. Storm Overflows are monitored using EDMs (Event Duration Monitors) and these bring in data from all our outfalls atleast every 15 minutes to check if they are spilling. Today, a map has been launched which shows near real time statuses for all our Severn Trent outfalls: you can find it here https://lnkd.in/efHCi_FV To enhance this project I have built a fully fledged power platform solution which will help our operational teams manage and track investigations into spills on our patch. This project includes: - A Power App for operational teams to build, track and log an investigation into an Overflow spilling and request maintenance for the asset if needed. - A Power BI report for customer service teams to have a view of operational actions to provide a more in depth level of customer advice. - Several Power Automate flows to send reminders, move data around and build data snapshots I’m very proud of the work I’ve done on this and I hope this helps all teams in the future to be the best they can be!
