Summary

As wildfire risk grows and customer affordability becomes a greater concern, utilities face a difficult balancing act: reducing risk while ensuring that vegetation management investments are targeted, effective, and justified. Every incremental dollar must be directed to the highest-priority work and supported by clear evidence that it produces measurable reductions in wildfire and reliability risk.  

Designed for leaders across vegetation management, wildfire mitigation, and asset management, this webinar will examine how risk-based planning, verified field execution, and outcome-focused reporting can create a shared view of program performance and investment value. Through practical examples, we will explore how a risk-to-work approach helps utilities prioritize the work with the greatest potential impact, strengthening wildfire readiness and everyday reliability.  

What You'll Learn:

• How to maximize risk reduction per vegetation dollar by prioritizing the highest-risk work instead of relying on traditional activity metrics.
• How to connect risk identification with verified field execution to create an auditable record that supports regulatory filings, executive decision-making, and customer trust.
• How to demonstrate affordability through measurable outcomes using balanced performance metrics—including risk reduction, reliability improvements, productivity, contractor performance, and program cost effectiveness—rather than miles trimmed alone.
