Text below from website above:

Wildfires were catastrophic across the West and the Southwest last summer.
Coupled with the continuing megadrought, this was a huge burden for
utilities across a wide area of the country.

Already it is hotter and drier than normal across much of those regions,
and forecasters at the National Weather Service have said that drought
conditions will persist through the spring, which will set the stage for
wildfires and reduced hydroelectric production.

In this briefing, a panel of hands-on utility executives will be questioned
by a gallery of knowledgeable reporters about how they coped in the past
and how they hope to avert disaster this year. USEA Acting Executive
Director Sheila Hollis will open the briefing. It has been organized and
will be moderated by Llewellyn King, nationally syndicated columnist and
broadcaster.

Paul Pastelok, Lead Long-Range Forecaster at AccuWeather, will give a
special presentation at the beginning of the briefing.

The general audience can submit questions using the Zoom Q&A function, but
members of the media will be given preference. A recording will be made
available after the briefing.
