Infrastructure Security and Energy Restoration The Infrastructure Security and Energy Restoration (ISER) Program is the lead for Emergency Support Function #12 (Energy) under the National Response Framework, and is the Energy Sector-Specific Agency for national efforts, in cooperation with public and private sector stakeholders, to enhance the preparedness, resiliency, and recovery of the U.S. energy infrastructure. Three Resource Areas; Ten Programs Situational Preparedness & Exercises Energy Sector Exercises SLTT Energy Assurance SSA Responsibilities Risk & Hazards Analysis International & Defense Cyber Preparedness Natural hazards Cyber attack Physical attack EMP GMD Awareness Energy Sector Situational Awareness Situational Analysis Response & Recovery Emergency Response Cyber Incident Coordination 4
DOE SLTT Energy Assurance Program Build Relationships Increase Expertise Encourage Comprehensive Planning 5
Improve Information Sharing Threat Information Sharing Strengthen threat information sharing between Federal, SLTT, and law enforcement communities through: MS-ISAC Fusion Centers FBI Field Offices SVTC pilot Energy Sector Situational Awareness Increase public-public and public-private flow of information on status of energy systems during incidents: Increased adoption of automated systems like EAGLE-I Operational communications 6
Interdependencies: Regional Electricity Interstate interdependencies already highlighted by RTO/ISO s traditional markets Provide streamlined industry-driven restoration priorities and coordination Established awareness of electricity s regional interdependencies ONG Challenging to see regional interdependencies within supply chains Geographic challenges associated with liquid ONG product Opportunity for increased cooperation within regions in development of energy assurance and emergency fuel plans 7
Interdependencies: Sector Energy is integrated into all the critical lifeline sectors (financial, water, health, communications, etc.). Coordination at State/local level between energy and communications sector is uneven across the country. Energy and communications often share equipment (poles). Water and health also rely on electricity, and need to be factored in during prioritization. 8
Key Takeaways Energy assurance planning is important Energy sector exercises can help you prepare Clear Path regional exercises Threat specific exercises Populate your rolodex before an incident: know your DOE ESF#12 responders Information sharing is a two-way five-way street EAGLE-I access 9
