Rapid Damage Assessment for Power & Utilities

When every minute matters, Safehub’s sensors deliver rapid, actionable damage data so you can assess facility integrity, prioritize response, and restore power faster after an earthquake.

Every Minute Counts for Critical Infrastructure

Power plants, substations, transmission lines, and utility facilities are the backbone of modern life. After an earthquake, every minute of uncertainty can delay critical decisions, prolong outages, and increase losses.

Safehub closes this information gap by delivering asset-specific, near real-time shaking and damage data.

Utilities gain immediate situational awareness across their entire network through a single dashboard, even integrating with their Emergency Operations Center feeds and displays. With this insight, teams can quickly prioritize inspections based on measured intensity rather than assumptions — and identify which facilities can safely resume service.

Rapid Damage Detection—Powered by Sensors and Analytics

Safehub combines its easy-to-install, scalable sensors with advanced analytics to provide a continuous picture of facility performance across your entire network.

How It Works:

1. Work with the Safehub team to quickly deploy sensors at desired substations, plants, and control facilities

2. Sensors measure shaking intensities at each site, and estimate structural response during earthquakes (including aftershocks)

3. Receive actionable and customized damage insights through near real-time texts & email alerts to make critical response decisions.

Empower Confident Decision-Making

Safehub gives utility leaders the data they need to act decisively after an earthquake, enabling them to:

  • Accelerate Response Time – Receive automated portfolio-specific damage assessments within minutes.
  • Maintain Operational Continuity – Identify undamaged sites quickly to restore power and operations faster.
  • Prioritize Inspections – Target physical inspections where issues are detected.
  • Reduce Liability – rapidly detect and respond to damage capable of igniting fires in near realtime.
  • Strengthen ESG and Resilience Programs – Demonstrate proactive risk management and commitment to reliability.

Prioritize Safe Shutdowns to Minimize Wildfire Risk

In California and other wildfire-prone regions, damaged substations and plants can become ignition points — forcing utilities to make critical shutdown decisions under pressure and uncertainty. Safehub delivers the near real-time intelligence you need to make smarter shutdown decisions — or avoid them when unnecessary.

    • Targeted PSPS Decisions
      Shutdowns can be applied selectively to sites showing potential damage, avoiding broad regional outages.
    • Defensible Risk Documentation
      Timestamped sensor data records when, where, and how assets responded, supporting due diligence.
    • Supports Wildfire Risk Management
      Safehub sensors give asset-level insight into potential equipment instability, helping utilities complement PSPS protocols.
    • Public & Stakeholder Trust
      Data-driven shutdowns replace subjective judgment with transparent, verifiable decisions.

Engineered for Mission-Critical Environments

Designed for reliability and simplicity, Safehub’s platform delivers continuous coverage even under challenging conditions.

  • Easy plug-and-play installation
  • Back-up battery and internal data storage for added resilence
  • LTE cellular connection to avoid network security issues
  • Ability for  API integration with existing management systems
  • Proven field performance in power, water, and energy facilities 
  • Rugged water- and dust-resistant housing available

Trusted by Leading Utilities

Safehub’s technology supports major utilities and critical infrastructure providers, empowering them to safeguard operations and communities.

When earthquakes hit California, regional maps don’t inform which facilities are most affected. Safehub sensors rapidly provide facility-specific shaking and damage data across multiple energy assets, helping managers identify priority sites for damage inspections—and enable faster, safer restoration of power.
