Built for the field. Backed by the balance sheet.

The Storm Operations Problem

Rosters built in Excel, updated via text thread
Linemen re-onboarding paperwork for every event
Invoices compiled manually from handwritten timesheets
No real-time visibility into crew location or ETA
Utilities waiting 90+ days for verified documentation

Visualize outages with maps

Use ARCGIS-powered, color-coded maps to track storm paths, danger zone mapping, outages, assets, and crew locations. Prioritize restoration zones effectively and coordinate teams with greater clarity on the ground.

FAQ's

Do we have to re-onboard our contractors and linemen for every storm event?
No. KYRO Verified stores every credential, classification, and compliance document permanently. When a storm call goes out, your roster draws from verified profiles already in the system — no re-paperwork, no re-onboarding.
Can we manage multiple storms happening at the same time?
Yes. StormShield supports parallel storm calls with independent rosters, timelines, and crew structures running simultaneously — each fully visible from a single dashboard.
How does StormShield handle subcontractors and brokers, not just our direct workforce?
StormShield is built for multi-tier networks. Storm call broadcasts cascade automatically through your entire sub network, with real-time response tracking, roll-up roster visibility, and consolidated invoicing at every tier.
Does KYRO support both union and non-union linemen and work?
Yes. KYRO is built for the full spectrum of storm restoration workforce — IBEW union linemen, non-union crews, and mixed workforces. IBEW classification verification, union card validation, and jurisdictional compliance are built in for union work. Non-union crews follow the same credential and compliance workflow without the union-specific fields. The same roster, the same platform, regardless of workforce type.
Is the 1.3 multiplier for time to mobilize to storm and/or project location adjustable?
Yes, the time multiplier to mobilize to storm or project location is fully customizable. The 1.3 default can be modified to match your project-specific requirements or regional standards. Some of our customers use a multiplier of 1.4 or 1.5 to allow more time for equipment to travel from their then current location to the storm and/or project location.

FAQ's

What is storm response and why is it important for utilities?
Storm response refers to the organized efforts utilities take to restore power, clear hazards, and protect infrastructure during and after severe weather events. Effective storm response minimizes outages, reduces costs, and improves safety for crews and customers. KYRO AI helps utilities manage storm response efficiently with AI-driven insights, real-time tracking, and automated workflows.
How does storm restoration work with KYRO AI?
Storm restoration involves assessing damage, deploying crews, and repairing infrastructure as quickly as possible. KYRO AI streamlines this process with interactive dashboards, real-time damage assessment, GIS mapping, and predictive AI tools to prioritize high-impact areas and optimize crew deployment.
What is AI storm response and how does it help?
AI storm response uses artificial intelligence to predict storm damage, optimize crew allocation, and prevent asset failure before storms hit. KYRO AI leverages AI to forecast outage risks, analyze vegetation threats, validate crew credentials, and automate reporting, ensuring faster and safer storm restoration.
Can KYRO AI help with storm control and damage prevention?
Yes. KYRO AI’s AI-powered predictive analytics identify high-risk areas, monitor vegetation encroachments, and alert utilities to potential hazards, enabling proactive storm control measures. This reduces equipment damage, minimizes outages, and improves response efficiency.
How does KYRO AI improve communication during storm response?
KYRO AI offers SMS alerts, push notifications, and real-time field-to-EOC data flow. Crews and contractors stay informed about assignments, hazards, and changes in priorities, ensuring faster, coordinated storm response.
Can storm response operations be managed offline?
Absolutely. KYRO AI supports offline data capture, allowing crews to log timesheets, assessments, and forms even when connectivity is unavailable. Data automatically syncs when back online, maintaining continuity during storm events.
How does KYRO AI handle safety and compliance during storm restoration?
KYRO AI provides customizable storm-specific safety and compliance forms, including OSHA- and FEMA-ready checklists. Crews can quickly document hazards, incidents, and clearance work, ensuring regulatory compliance and audit-ready reporting.
Does KYRO AI support asset and resource management during storms?
Yes. Track all crews, contractors, equipment, and materials in one centralized hub. KYRO AI enables utilities to allocate resources efficiently, avoid duplication, and prioritize high-risk areas for faster storm restoration.
What makes KYRO AI different from traditional storm response tools?
Unlike manual processes or generic dashboards, KYRO AI combines AI predictive analytics, GIS mapping, mobile field tools, workflow automation, and real-time communication. This creates a smarter, faster, and fully connected storm response system.
Who can benefit from AI storm response technology?
Utilities, contractors, emergency management teams, and municipalities benefit from AI storm response by reducing downtime, improving safety, controlling costs, and accelerating post-storm restoration.
