What will the government do in the case of an electrical grid attack?
Erroll Southers (Former Deputy Director of the California Department of Homeland Security) gives expert video advice on: What is an 'electrical grid attack'?; What's the likelihood of an electrical grid attack?; What can I do in the case of an electrical grid attack? and more...
We have played out - and they test these systems regularly. To have a grid fail happen, but we are prepared to respond and get that grid restored rather quickly. And the way that the government responds is they train on electrical grid failures and how to get them back up and running fairly quickly. Especially essential services: hospitals - and I keep reiterating hospitals because that's very important. If we have injuries or fatalities it's going to be very very important that those kinds of services receive that power first and then it works itself out for the rest of the municipality.
