EARTH EX® – London and Glasgow. Building resilience for global scale complex catastrophes
Our infrastructure is interconnected and interdependent. A major incident in one location can cascade rapidly and have an impact on critical infrastructure systems elsewhere, affecting their ability to function, to connect communities, provide essential services, or to protect society. A ‘black sky hazard’ is defined by the EIS Council as ‘a catastrophic event that severely […]
Sharing resources for resilience practitioners
It’s very satisfying to see a number of Resilience Shift projects and activities, that began last year, producing a whole range of outputs this spring.
Impactful learning from black sky exercises – what really matters in a crisis?
Critical infrastructure resilience was put to the test using the Earth Ex simulated disaster event, exploring how interdependencies work in practice.
“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, […]
