Responsible Fiber Deployment: Strategies for Protection and Damage Prevention

May 9th, 2024 || 10:30 - 11:30 PM CDT

Communities are poised for progress as the Infrastructure bill is bringing fiber to previously unserved areas. This town hall explores the strategies begin deployed to help educate excavators and municipalities as this new wave of installation arrives. Experts discuss the legal elements of damage prevention, the methods being used to include consistent damage prevention in the work processes and why these projects benefit from the partnership between those placing the cables with those stakeholders committed to protecting the services already in the ground. Join us to learn the challenges and the practical components of a mutually beneficial partnership plan.

These Town Hall meetings have been great! I am pretty sure I have never seen less than 100 people on any of these calls. People from all walks of life tied to Damage Prevention are on these calls and there are always good collaboration going on! Personally, I have picked up a good idea from every town hall meeting. 😉
