Meet Tyler Nye, an incident response specialist lead at our headquarters in New Orleans, Louisiana, who has played a key role in supporting Entergy’s readiness and response efforts, including serving as the program administrator for the storm manager application.
In July, Entergy joined other coastal utilities at a symposium hosted by the Edison Electric Institute to discuss hurricane preparedness and recovery with members of Congress on Capitol Hill. The company demonstrated one of its newest innovations: the Damage Assessment Collection Tool, or DACT, a tool that allows field crews to log storm damage directly into a mobile app using a phone or tablet.
May is Wildfire Awareness Month and Entergy is highlighting the importance of preparing for the increased risk of wildfires as the hotter, drier weather of the summer approaches.
For many team members, the phrase “always learning” is a mantra in most daily conversations, but seeing this value being taught to the future engineers of tomorrow is an important one to witness. Recently, students from the Madison Central High School Academy of Engineering were able to visit Entergy facilities and take full advantage of their partnership with the company.
