## Resource

CenterPoint Energy is transforming Houston’s power grid with ultra-durable fiberglass poles that bend, not break, under 132 mph winds—part of their bold resiliency push after Hurricane Beryl left 2 million without power. Since August, they’ve replaced 82,000 poles, cleared 13,000 miles of vegetation, and installed hundreds of “trip saver” devices to auto-reset lines—cutting outage response time. Crews have logged 20,000+ storm-prep training hours, and work is underway in neighborhoods like the Heights. Track progress in your area via their Community Progress Tracker—because keeping the lights on when the storm hits? That’s the goal.
