On September 26, 2017, the Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC (BEA) Continuity of Operations Program (COOP) conducted an annual exercise to demonstrate the COOP responder’s ability to maintain COOP’s primary mission essential function (PMEF) and essential supporting activities (ESAs) during a national loss of commercial power caused by a malware attack to the United States power grid. The continuity emergency management team (CEMT) and continuity emergency response group (CERG) responded to CERG notifications and worked through simulated challenges, using COOP’s 3-D scenario visualization tool (3DSVT), that challenged COOP’s PMEF, essential support activities (ESAs), and impacted mission critical personnel’s human capital. The PMEF and ESAs were successfully maintained as the CERG developed incident action plans through several phases of the scenario, addressing appropriate needs, concerns and strategic planning.
