NEW TOOLS: DIRT Report Data Sheets

To further stakeholder understanding of key takeaways from the 2021 DIRT Report, CGA has created data sheets reviewing the Report’s key takeaways and featuring helpful graphics in an easily digestible and shareable format.

The 2021 DIRT Report data sheets offer helpful recommendations to stakeholders about how your organization can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of damage prevention efforts to drive down damages. Use the data sheets as a guide for 2023 damage prevention goal-setting, or incorporate graphics and relevant data into key presentations and webinars. We also encourage you to share the data sheets with your colleagues and other damage prevention stakeholders for their reflection and consideration.
