Enhancing the Resilience of the Nation's Electricity System

Electricity is fundamental to our nation’s health, safety, and economy. However, extreme weather events, earthquakes, cyber attacks, and other threats have the potential to cause large-scale outages putting lives at risk. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine invite you to join a webinar on July 20, 2017 at 2 p.m. EDT highlighting our new report Enhancing the Resilience of the Nation's Electricity System. Committee members who wrote the report will identify promising technologies, policies, and organizational strategies that should be implemented on the federal, state, and local levels. After they summarize their findings and recommendations, the committee members will answer questions from webinar participants.

Enhancing the Resilience of the Nation's Electricity System will be publicly released at 11 a.m. EDT on July 20, 2017. Download the report on the National Academies Press website and register for the webcast.
