Turn changing forecasts into targeted work plans

Overstory combines storm forecasts with vegetation data, historical outages and customer impact to show where failures are most likely, where it matters most, and where crews can act.

Why overstory

From storm forecast to dispatch

Simple black outline of two overlapping pine trees with triangular shapes and rectangular trunks.
Span-level storm risk

Overlay storm paths on <30cm canopy height and health models to determine the exact trees and assets most likely to fail under extreme weather loads.

Symbols for basic arithmetic operations: minus sign, multiplication sign, plus sign, and equals sign arranged in a square layout.
Dynamic scenario engine

Simultaneously evaluate incident likelihood, community impact, and operational feasibility to determine what work to do before and after landfall.

Closed-loop OMS integration

Push prioritized targets straight to field crews and capture completion data, providing the single, audit-ready record needed to recover restoration costs.

Use cases

Direct crews.
Protect communities.

Give teams a single hazard-specific plan from pre-landfall prep
to post-storm recovery.

Most of our wildfire-related concerns come from the trees that fall into our right of way. Overstory helps us identify those trees and mitigate risk before they fall.

Overstory and Watch Duty deliver a shared, real-time view of vegetation hazards that could ignite or accelerate wildfire spread, allowing them to take action before that risk becomes an emergency.
