“My concern is how resilient we are as a society to withstand a major shock”
Toby Harris of the Electric Infrastructure Security Council (EISC) explains how caring about our future means preparing for the unexpected.
From tools and supply chains to earthquakes, drought and black skies
February’s activities were wide ranging but inter-connected: ‘It’s essential to focus not only on the resilience of the technical system, but also on the people who are an integral part of the system.’
Earth Ex: planning for global scale complex catastrophe (Glasgow)
As part of our work on ‘Electricity sector and interdependencies’, we propose to implement EARTH EX sector exercises, allowing critical infrastructure players to improve their planning to black sky events by adopting systems thinking, cross-sectorial approaches. We will initially host two EARTH EX resilience exercises in the UK (London, 28th February and Glasgow, 4th March), a locally facilitated, […]

EIS Council partnership uses Earth Ex to build resilience
Earth Ex sector exercises will enable critical infrastructure players to improve their planning to black sky events, adopting systems thinking, cross-sector approaches to build multi-sector resilience.
Building knowledge and sharing insights – taking stock of September’s progress
Juliet Mian, Technical Director, explores some of the ways we are disseminating our work, and planning for 2019 and beyond, as we approach the end of our second year.
Preparing for resilience to black sky hazards
EarthEx is an online interactive exercise aiming to provide organisations and individuals with a forum to discuss, develop and test organisational plans to improve resilience to Black Sky Hazards. Find out how we got on.
