What an incredible day at the CALIFORNIA REGIONAL COMMON GROUND ALLIANCE Safety Summit & Expo! The event featured a mock strike demonstration that showcased the dangers of hitting an underground line on the job site. With a full emergency response, attendees witnessed firsthand the critical importance of using the 811 system thoroughly and effectively. After the demonstration, participants were divided into five groups and rotated through breakout sessions, each focused on a specific step of the 811 process. We were truly impressed by the quality of the event and its success in highlighting the importance of damage prevention. A big thank you to everyone who took part in making this event such a success! We're proud to support efforts that ensure the safety of our communities.

About us
Underground Service Alert provides a free and effective Damage Prevention Service that protects the communities and underground facilities in Central / Northern California, and Nevada. Underground Service Alert (USA) began operation in May of 1975 & incorporated as a 501 (c)(6) Non Profit Mutual Benefit Corporation in 1986. Our objective is to receive planned excavation reports from public or private excavators and to transmit those planned excavation reports to all participating utility members of Underground Service Alert who may have facilities in and around that excavation site. Our members will either: 1) mark or stake the horizontal path of their facility, 2) provide information about the location of their facility, or 3) advise the excavator of clearance, for facilities that they own. List of Holidays The following is a list of Holidays recognized by California and Nevada. Both California and Nevada One-Call Laws do not allow Federal or State Holidays to be included as part of the legal notice for the excavation notification.
