About Damage Prevention Councils

We’re tackling issues. We’re raising awareness.
We’re communicating.

The Damage Prevention Council of Florida (DPC) serves as a collaborative platform for professionals in the utility and excavation sectors, along with other damage prevention stakeholders.

The DPC is organized into regional councils, each led by a chair, vice chair, and secretary. These regional councils focus on identifying local challenges, with members working collectively to devise strategies for safer excavation practices and reducing utility damage.

Meetings are held quarterly - or more frequently as necessary.
