CISA and AVANGRID conduct virtual exercise to improve emergency response and recovery plans
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and AVANGRID, a sustainable energy company providing services in 24 states, conducted a virtual tabletop exercise to test and identify the safety procedures AVANGRID has implemented since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and identify additional procedures necessary to ensure employee safety operations and business continuity in the out years.
The tabletop exercise tested short-term and long-term recovery plans, business continuity, internal information sharing and communication plans in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Tuesday’s exercise, part of an ongoing collaboration to better prepare for a range of potential incidents, provided CISA and AVANGRID the opportunity to build upon lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic.
