CLEAR PATH V
Objectives1. Establish and reinforce relationships across the
energy and communications sectors to facilitate future preparedness and emergency response operations.
2. Define interdependencies between the energy and communications sectors, emphasizing areas of mutual reliance, resource needs, and mechanisms for effective sharing of information during a multi-state regional incident causing energy and communication system interruptions.
3. Examine the interactions between state and federal government organizations during an energy emergency to provide resources and assistance to impacted jurisdictions.
160 participants from federal, state, and energy/comms sectors

CLEAR PATH V
Key Takeaways (unofficial)
1. Better coordination between electricity and communications sector for response needed
2. Improve access and credentialing for utility crews remains an issue at local level
3. UAS/Drones are a game-changer for damage assessments – need better clarity on FAA rules
4. Better understanding of restoration prioritization
7

LIBERTY ECLIPSE Key Findings and Recommendations
LIBERTY ECLIPSE Exercise –
Newport, RI, December 8-9,
2016 – Co-hosted w/ NASEO
• Cyber-incident in the
electricity sub-sector
affecting other sectors
• Interdependencies in
energy sector
• 3 FEMA Regions, 13 States,
industry, 96 participants
• AAR released April 18https://energy.gov/oe/articles/liberty-eclipse-exercise-summary-report
10
LIBERTY ECLIPSE Key Findings and Recommendations
1) The cyber incident coordination frameworks at both the state and federal levels need to be further defined and synchronized with industry.
2) The public will face a great deal of uncertainty following a significant cyber incident that causes physical damage (such as a long-term power outage or petroleum disruption), creating a considerable challenge for public information and expectation management, particularly around restoration times.
3) The evolving nature of cybersecurity threats makes it difficult for PUCs to accurately quantify the cost of cybersecurity investments for rate recovery.
Key Findings – Cyber Incident Coordination
11
LIBERTY ECLIPSE Key Findings and Recommendations
4) While the consequence management activities for the physical impacts caused by a cyber incident are largely the same as they would be for any other hazard—including the potential use of the Stafford Act—the unique conditions of a cyber incident pose additional challenges that necessitate new capabilities and the use of new authorities.
5) Information sharing and the ability to communicate remain prime concerns in an energy emergency—regardless of the cause.
6) There is a need to improve state petroleum response plans to make them more operational and detailed and provide for greater consistency across multi-state regions.
12
LIBERTY ECLIPSE Key Findings and Recommendations
7) Emergency response stakeholders need to have a good understanding of the energy sector supply chains and interdependencies to plan for, and respond to, energy emergencies.
8) There are substantial resources available to support efforts that would enhance cybersecurity. These resources, and their applicability, are not always well known at the state and local levels by some of the organizations within the energy supply chain.
13
LIBERTY ECLIPSE Key Findings and Recommendations
Key Findings – Exercise Design
9) The quality of the exercise, the ability to identify planning gaps,
and action items are affected by the composition of the
individuals and organizations that participate in the exercise.
10) Participants felt that the exercise should have been a more
focused set of events targeting a smaller geographic region to
allow for more in-depth discussions.
14
LIBERTY ECLIPSE Key Findings and Recommendations
1) DOE should support SLTT governments and industry partners to
improve communication and information sharing consistent with
forthcoming cyber-incident coordination mechanisms, and strengthen
procedures to facilitate energy restoration. Particular attention needs to
be paid to public communication and expectation-setting during
significant cyber incidents.
2) The federal government needs to better define its roles and
responsibilities for a significant cyber incident and communicate those
roles clearly.
3) DOE should continue its work with SLTT partners, other federal
agencies, and the private sector to ensure that appropriate resources
and capabilities are available to reduce the risks to the energy sector
from a cybersecurity threat. DOE, DHS, and industry should also work
together to ensure that measures are in place for the recovery of critical
information technology systems to ensure a more rapid system
restoration and to minimize impacts.
Recommendations
15
LIBERTY ECLIPSE Key Findings and Recommendations
4) DOE should facilitate further dialogue between governments at all
levels and industry on developing fuel-shortage response plans, and to
evaluate these plans in future regional exercises that focused on the oil
and natural gas subsector.
5) DOE should maintain and expand its energy assurance program to
encourage and support planning and preparedness, through regular
education, training, and exercises for SLTT partners, with the goal of
promoting a better understanding of energy sector supply-chain
interdependencies. These efforts should culminate in updated energy
assurance plans at all levels.
16
Energy Assurance Activities for FY18
• Three Themes
• Cybersecurity Preparedness
• Information Sharing and Situational Awareness
• Regional Interdependencies
• EAGLE-I Upgrades to include ISERnet content
• Possible work on Local Energy Assurance
• Cross DOE/Lab Cooperation on analytical
products focused on resilience and security
