Adding Resilience to the Energy Equation

The Electric Infrastructure Security Council identifies a “Black Sky Hazard” as a catastrophic event that severely disrupts the normal functioning of critical infrastructures in multiple regions for long durations which occur as a result of climate events, cyber terrorism, EMP, or super-storms. Communities, campuses, and companies need to get in front of the train with disaster preparedness to ensure resilience, and energy supply is a critical component of this planning. What does the planning process entail? What expertise and investment will be required, who are the strategic partners in project development, and how will government provide support?
