Utilities One’s Commitment to Critical Infrastructure Resilience

As we mark Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month, Utilities One reaffirms our commitment to securing and strengthening the essential services that keep our communities running smoothly. 

In today’s rapidly changing world, where both natural and cyber threats are on the rise, resilience in infrastructure has become not just a goal but a necessity. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) highlights that America’s security relies on the stability of 16 critical sectors, including Energy, Communications, and Water—core areas where Utilities One is proud to make an impact.

Consider these eye-opening statistics that underline the urgency of resilience:

  • $150 Billion in Climate-Related Damages in 2022: Climate-related disasters caused an astounding $150 billion in damages across the U.S. last year, marking a 400% increase in costly weather events over the last two decades. Essential services, like power and communication, are at the front lines of these impacts, calling for immediate, resilient infrastructure planning.

  • 200,000 Cyberattacks Annually on U.S. Critical Infrastructure: As we rely more on technology, the risk of cyber threats has surged. Every year, U.S. infrastructure faces over 200,000 cyberattacks, a stark reminder that resilience now includes a robust defense against cyber threats.

  • $1.2 Trillion Investment by 2030 for Resilient Infrastructure: Through initiatives like the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the federal government aims to spend an estimated $1.2 trillion to modernize and secure critical systems by the end of this decade. 

Utilities One is aligned with these goals, leading projects that bring advanced, resilient solutions to life.

How Utilities One Builds Resilience in Critical Infrastructure

Utilities One has adopted a resilience-first approach, focusing on proactive preparedness, efficient rapid response, and a commitment to continuous adaptation to address today’s challenges. These guiding principles drive our work across Wireline, Power, Oil & Gas, Wireless, and Water Services, ensuring we’re always ready to respond to the diverse needs of American communities.

1. Preparedness: Planning Ahead to Strengthen Resilience

Preparedness is at the heart of resilience. Utilities One conducts extensive risk assessments and scenario planning, working closely with local and federal agencies to protect infrastructure before threats arise. By customizing our contingency plans for each region, we ensure that both urban and rural areas have tailored resilience solutions.

  • Enhanced Regional Planning: By evaluating unique risks in different areas, we have developed targeted contingency plans—ranging from urban emergency power strategies to rural telecom support—ensuring communities are well-prepared.

  • Investment in Predictive Technology: Utilities One is adopting predictive analytics and AI for early detection of potential threats, helping us act proactively to prevent disruptions.

2. Rapid Response: Restoring Services Swiftly During Disruptions

When disruptions occur, every second counts. Utilities One has trained teams ready to mobilize at a moment’s notice, working in coordination with first responders to minimize downtime. Our recent efforts during Hurricanes Helene and Milton demonstrate this commitment, with our teams deployed to restore essential services in record time.

  • Reduced Response Times: Thanks to strategic resource placement and ongoing training, Utilities One has achieved a substantial reduction in average response time over the past year, ensuring communities get back on their feet faster.

  • Real-Time Disaster Support: With multiple team members deployed during recent hurricanes, Utilities One has shown its capacity to provide hands-on support during emergencies, reinforcing the vital importance of infrastructure resilience.

3. Continuous Adaptation: Future-Proofing for Evolving Challenges

The threats to infrastructure are ever-evolving, and so are our resilience strategies. Utilities One’s approach involves learning from every project , integrating these insights into our practices. By staying on the cutting edge, we help ensure that essential systems remain reliable, no matter what the future brings.

  • Innovation in Resilience Materials and Techniques: Based on recent restoration experiences, we’re integrating durable materials and resilient power systems to fortify infrastructure against severe events.

  • Long-Term Workforce Training: Continuous training keeps our teams well-prepared for emerging challenges. By equipping our workforce with updated skills and knowledge, Utilities One fosters a culture that prioritizes resilience.

Standing Together for a Resilient Future

This Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month, Utilities One is more dedicated than ever to the cause of national resilience. As we look to the future, we know that safeguarding our critical infrastructure is a collective mission—one that benefits from collaboration, innovation, and readiness.

Utilities One invites all stakeholders, from industry partners to local communities, to join us in our efforts to secure a resilient future.
