EmergencyAPI for Utilities

The Problem

Power networks, water utilities, and telcos need to know when bushfires, floods, or storms threaten their infrastructure. Today, operations teams manually check emergency service websites to assess threats to substations, transmission lines, pump stations, and cell towers.

This is slow, inconsistent, and misses incidents in neighbouring states that could affect cross-border infrastructure.

How EmergencyAPI Helps
  • Proximity alerts: Query incidents within a radius of any asset coordinate. Know when a fire is 5km from a substation.
  • Bounding box: Define corridors around transmission lines or pipelines and monitor for nearby incidents.
  • National coverage: Cross-border incidents from neighbouring states are included automatically.
  • Severity and urgency: CAP-AU compliant fields let you set response thresholds (e.g. only alert on Severe or Extreme).
  • All hazard types: Bushfires, floods, storms, earthquakes. One integration covers every threat vector.
Use Cases
  • Automated alerts when incidents occur within defined buffers of critical assets
  • Control room dashboards showing active threats to infrastructure
  • Preemptive crew deployment based on incident proximity and severity
  • Post-event damage assessment correlation with incident locations
  • Regulatory compliance reporting for emergency response obligations
