Initiative Dear Did you know that the state of South Carolina has natural gas propane petroleum as well as other hazardous material pipelines running throughoutthe state Nearly everyr city town county or communitywithin the state has pipelines that run through or near its jurisdiction Despite pipeline operators best efforts pipeline breaches incidents and accidents still occur Is your community prepared Are your emergencyresponders prepared Recently the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials SafetyAdministration a bran ch of the United States Department ofTransportation assisted pipeline operators and emergency response personnel in the development of the eorgia Pipeline Emergency Responders In itiative The mission ofthe GPERI is to advance the ability ofG eorgia emergency responders to manage pipeline emergencies through improved training cooperation and communication with pipeline operators To accomplish this they developed training programsfor emergency response personnel A board was created underthe Georgia Association of Fire Chiefsto implement and manage GPERI Board members include emergency responders pipeline operators representatives of the eorgia Fire Academy eorgia S11 and the eorgia Association of Fire Chiefr s PHMSA has expanded this initiative to South Carolina Pipeline operators and emergency responders are attem ptingto develop a program similar to the PERI The intent is to establish a multi- agency steering committee consisting of representatives from public safety dam age prevention emergency management regulators and industry thatwill guide the implementation of a training communications and coordination system to improve emergency response to pipeline incidents statewide These goals cannot be accomplished withoutyour assistance We urge you to participate in this ambitious projectthat will ensure training education and information shari among pipeline operators and emergency responders C next meeting will be held at the South carolina

is an unclassified exercise designed to simulate a cyber physical attack on electric grid and other critical infrastructures across North America Participants include o Electric Utilities o Regional Local State Provincial and Federal Government agencies in law enforcement first response emergency management and intelligence community functions o Critical Infrastructure Cross-Sector partners and o Supply Chain stakeholder organizations Link http www nerc com pa CI CIPOutreach Pages GridEX aspx Exercise dates November 15 and 16 2017 How might your system be impacted by a long duration power outage A long duration power outage will have impacts on all facets of the economy including pipeline operators Electric Infrastructure Security Council EIS http eiscouncil org Video How will SC Emergency Management use GridEX IV SCEMD leverages GRIDEX IV as an exercise to assess response and recovery to a widespread long-term power outage with cascading effects on our citizens infrastructure and environment Provides opportunity for state local and private partners to assess plans and procedures to respond to a long-term power outage with enhanced response to any hazard event at the local level GridEX IV Scenario o South Carolina experiences state-wide rolling power blackouts that occur with little or no warning o The outages are the direct result of coordinated cyber and physical attacks by an unknown adversary on the North American power grid o The State sustains extensive communication energy and transportation infrastructure damage GridEX IV Scenario o Roadways railways waterways and airports are severely impacted state-wide o Cellular towers and IT networks are severely degraded or inoperable o Due to major extended interruption of utilities water fuel and communications entire communities are isolated o Local and State government resources and response capability has been exceeded o SC requires immediate assistance through mutual aid from other states and the Federal government COMBINED COMPLEX ATTACK GRIDEX IV SCENARIO POSSIBILITY o CYBER ATTACK - Possible Enabling Operation s to support physical attacks - Can also be used to create direct physical effects o PHYSICAL ATTACK - Direct Action Operations - Designed to created localized physical damage - Could be combined with physical attacks at other locations to create widespread effects

Updates for key decisions to support recovery resource allocation prioritization o Assess resources required to assist in intermediate and long-term recovery o Identify unique roles and responsibilities in recovery o Conduct Hotwash This is a Game Assumptions First 24 hours o Cyber and physical attacks complete o Power outages will impede response operations o DoD asset support limited based on scale and scope of the disaster o Limited federal assets available based on regional and multi-state area of impact o Transportation reduced to ground air rail and sea limited o Complete and partial shut down of industries immediately o After 48 hours spiraling effects to water and waste water health care communications and transportation emerge o Estimate 10 - 30 days to restore services within the state o Widespread need for Points of Distribution to assist with water food and medical care - exacerbated in larger population centers o Beyond 72 hours expect significant loss of life to residents dependent on power for medical needs What are things that I should consider for my System Operational Considerations o How do power outages of 48 hours 10 days 30 days impact your operations o What external support would you require to stabilize systems restore service o What items in your EAP may require assistance from the Public Sector GridEX IV County Play
