Case Study: Beauregard Electric Co-op secures FEMA funding with Davey Resource Group's storm walkdown

Beauregard Electric Co-Op restores power for 43,000 members in 6 months with Davey

Davey Resource Group (DRG), a division of Davey Tree, helped Beauregard Electric Co-op after Hurricane Laura caused devastating damage to its system. The co-op needed updated inventory data of its transmission and distribution lines to become eligible for critical FEMA funding assistance to cover repair costs.

Davey implemented a rapid storm walkdown, deploying crews to collect data on over 100,000 poles across the service area. The updated inventory provided the necessary evidence for FEMA, securing funding for repairs. As a result, Beauregard Electric was able to restore power to most of its 43,000 members within weeks of the hurricane.
