Abstract
The following relates generally to calculating estimated power outages during a natural disaster event. In this regard, some embodiments create a synthetic network of a power infrastructure of a geographic area by: determining a location of a power substation; determining a location of a customer; determining a location of a power line linking the power substation to the customer; and determining if the power line is overhead or underground. Some embodiments then use the created synthetic network to simulate an event to calculate the estimated power outages during the event.
