Advisory
The Boca Raton Tribune
Tropical Storm Bertha, with sustained winds of 40 mph, is projected to make landfall along the Gulf Coast by July 22 or 23. The storm could strengthen over warm Gulf waters and is expected to bring significant rainfall and storm surges. A Storm Surge Watch has been issued for parts of the Gulf Coast.
Bertha’s potential for widespread flooding and infrastructure damage underscores the need for robust storm response plans. Utilities must prepare for simultaneous challenges to service continuity and customer safety.
Why it matters: Bertha’s path and intensification could test your outage response systems and customer communication strategies. Acting now to reinforce readiness will help you mitigate operational risks and maintain resilience during the storm.
