A reliable, affordable, and resilient electricity supply is paramount to the continued economic growth and prosperity of the Midwest. Each state has its own emergency and disaster planning and preparedness processes in place to coordinate emergency services, rescue and disaster relief teams, and other needed personnel to manage a variety of potential emergencies like floods, major ice storms, tornadoes, etc. Existing plans provide a strong foundation for consequence management, however they are not well adapted to manage a large-scale grid outage. MGA will seek to support state coordination and alignment of emergency planning and preparation for regional grid emergencies, considering factors such as critical loads like hospitals, water treatments facilities, military installations, and other emergency services. This effort will allow for a more collaborative and holistic approach to state energy security planning, utility coordination, and energy policy development.
