SUMMARY:Societal Resilience to Black Sky Hazards
DESCRIPTION:The EIS Council defines a black sky hazard as “a catastroph
 ic event that severely disrupts the normal functioning of our critical inf
 rastructure in multiple regions\, for long durations”\, an event that co
 uld be initiated by cyberattack\, geomagnetic disturbances\, or high-altit
 ude electromagnetic pulses.\nJoin EIS Council and Imperial College Lond
 on’s Professor Washington Yotto Ochieng for a live webinar on March 21s
 t (2-4pm GMT) that explores how to improve societal resilience to these bl
 ack sky hazards:\n \n\n\nIntroducing the Metagrid: Global Infrastructure 
 Interdependencies and Black Sky Vulnerabilities – Avi Schnurr\, CEO of 
 EIS Council\, will describe the challenges of Black Sky events\, the threa
 ts that can cause them\, and the resilience principles that\, if invested 
 in and deployed\, can mitigate them.\n\n \n\n\nCyberspace Infrastructure 
 Attack: IT\, OT\, and Supply Chain Risks and Disinformation Operations 
 – Former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense Dr. Paul Stockton will lay 
 out the current state of the advanced persistent threats in cyberspace\, t
 heir real-world effects\, and how we must combat them.\n\n \n\nElectromag
 netic Threats: National and Global Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) and Extreme
  Solar Storm Vulnerabilities – Dr. Chris Beck\, EIS Council’s Chief Sc
 ientist and V.P. for Policy\, will explain the least understood of the Bla
 ck Sky threats\, separating the science from the science fiction.\n\n \n\
 nThe Critical Unaddressed Vulnerability in Black Sky Catastrophes: Multise
 ctor Communication – Frank Koza\, EIS Council’s Electric Power Sector 
 Coordinator\, will discuss the impact of large-scale communication shutdow
 n in Black Sky catastrophes\, and emerging solutions.\n\n \n\nMetagrid Re
 storation and Black Sky Chaos: Emerging AI Technology For Multicorporate R
 estoration – Dr. Anthony Bucci\, the Technical Director for Infrastruct
 ure Simulation at EIS Council\, describes how a “digital twin” of the 
 real world is required to allow decision making in the complicated\, inter
 dependent and interconnected system-of-systems that is our modern technolo
 gical society.\n\n \n\nCorporate\, Government\, and Whole-Of-World Collab
 orative Black Sky Preperation – Ranger Dorn has dedicated the past five 
 years to the development and annual execution of EARTH Ex\, the largest al
 l-sector\, all-continent Black Sky resilience exercises in history.\n\n\n\
