Alabama operating context
Businesses may need to plan around severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, inland flooding, heat, and Gulf Coast wind exposure, depending on location and operation.

Operations this guide may include
- Residential and commercial electrical service
- New construction, renovation, and tenant improvements
