Restoration Estimates
Available in Responder Web Browser.
This section allows you to assign an estimated time of restoration for incidents in a particular region or on a specific feeder. This functionality is meant to be used primarily in a storm situation when an entire region or feeder is out due to down trees, etc. It allows you to assign one estimated time of restoration to an entire feeder or region. You can assign an estimated time of restoration to an individual incident by editing it in Responder Explorer.
- Select Restoration Estimates in the Dispatchers section.This section contains two tabs below the map: Regions and Feeders. To hide the map, click Hide Map; to display the map, click Show Map.
- The Regions tab allows you to select a region and assign an estimated time of restoration. The selected region cannot contain other regions within it. Select a region by clicking the map or a link in the tree to the left.
