RASDA supporting EarthEx 21 –
Fires & Floods Simulation Exercise

Developed by the Electric Infrastructure Security Council (www.eiscouncil.org)

With the growing likelihood of shocks that may undermine our way of life, we are faced with the problem that these events lie outside our experience, and therefore render us incapable of responding appropriately.

EarthEx 21 is a dynamic simulated crisis, in which you and your organisation respond to the evolving situation. It is a way to explore hidden vulnerabilities, test our preparedness and response capacities, and provide direction about how we can be better prepared if a real crisis comes along.

There are many different lanes to play, as families, communities, emergency services, public and private sector organizations, power and communication services providers and so on. It’s easy and intuitive to play, and can be done so throughout September and October 2021.

You can register for EarthEx 21 here. However, RASDA would be interested in supporting organisations of any size interested in taking part, and exploring with you how we could take the lessons learned to support on-going preparedness, and encourage a wider public conversation. If you are interested, you can begin by looking here.
