We’ve created a new 811 Center Dashboard to provide stakeholders with visually organized state-by-state data about annual 811 center transmissions and state damage prevention laws and regulations.

CGA recently announced the educational sessions and tracks for the 2023 CGA Conference & Expo, taking place April 17-21 at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Fla. Among the expansive lineup of educational sessions designed to facilitate cross-industry discussion and collaboration are several international sessions delivering perspectives on damage prevention efforts from around the world. These sessions are focused on some of the most pertinent damage prevention topics, including one-call notification, mapping data and utility and pipeline marking.

CGA will be hosting a webinar on Jan. 18 at 2 p.m. ET focused on CGA's new arm, the Damage Prevention Institute (DPI). After CGA’s recent acquisition of the Gold Shovel Association (GSA), all new and existing CGA members will have the opportunity to get to know the DPI and its role on our Jan. 18 webinar.

CGA’s Educational Programs & Marketing Committee is developing a series of educational videos and supporting materials that inform each stakeholder group of how they can more effectively use 811 to streamline the damage prevention process. Because damage prevention is a responsibility shared among all stakeholder groups, the 811 system is at its most effective and efficient when stakeholders actively work together to fulfill their roles to the best of their ability. The goal of this video series, “Tips for Effective Use of 811,” is to help stakeholders understand how they can improve their organization's own processes to do their part in streamlining the 811 system.
