• Temporary Power Distribution Setup: Installing and configuring a safe temporary power connection

• Electrical Panel Connection: Establishing a direct connection between the shelter and the City’s electrical grid, ensuring stable and consistent power delivery.

• Wiring and Safety Measures: Installing and securing all necessary wiring, conduits, and grounding systems to ensure compliance with electrical codes and safety regulations.
