Vegetation as the common thread: driving resilience across every program | AiDASH Evolve 2026

Watch the recording of “Vegetation as the Common Thread: Driving Resilience Across Every Program” from AiDASH Evolve 2026 featuring Bertram Stewart, Fletcher Johnson, Maria Mcinerney, moderated by Isabella Espinel. Vegetation drives 78% of storm outages and is the primary fuel for wildfires — making it the most consequential data layer across every resiliency program. As utilities evolve toward more integrated operations, vegetation intelligence is emerging as a powerful common thread — one that strengthens decision-making across wildfire mitigation, storm response, asset inspection, and emergency operations. This session brings together heads of vegetation management to share how they are building best-in-class VM programs — and how vegetation insights make every other resiliency program more effective. Speakers will share practical guidance on risk-based work planning, situational awareness, and what it looks like when vegetation intelligence is put to work across the full organization. Recorded live at AiDASH Evolve 2026 in Palm Springs, California. #AiDASHEvolve2026 #PreventionFirst #SecuringTomorrowTogether
