Track Power Grid Incidents → Assess Data Center Risk → Generate Contingency Plans
Monitor power grid disruptions and weather events, automatically assess risk to data center operations, and generate contingency response plans for facility managers.
Workflow Steps
NOAA Weather Alerts
Monitor severe weather
Set up NOAA weather API alerts for severe weather events (ice storms, extreme heat, high winds) in regions where your data centers operate. Configure alerts for multiple geographic zones.
PowerOutage.us API
Track grid disruptions
Monitor real-time power outage data for utility companies serving your data center locations. Set thresholds for outage size and duration that could impact operations.
Zapier
Correlate risk factors
Create automation that triggers when weather alerts OR power outages occur within 50 miles of data center locations. Compile incident details, affected utilities, and facility proximity data.
ChatGPT
Assess operational risk
Feed incident data to GPT-4 with context about data center backup power capacity, cooling requirements, and critical systems. Generate risk assessment scoring operational impact likelihood and severity.
PagerDuty
Alert response teams
Automatically create incidents in PagerDuty for high-risk scenarios. Include risk assessment, affected facilities, recommended actions, and escalation procedures. Route to appropriate on-call engineers.
