After the December 2018 NIAC report “Surviving a Catastrophic Power Outage”, FEMA has finally realized that a widespread catastrophic power outage is a possibility and the have no plan for it. FMA announced that they will hold a national EMP exercise in 2021. This is perhaps the most positive development stemming from the President’s March 2019 Executive Order.

A new status report on the Department of Homeland Security’s preparations to confront the threat of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack and respond to a potentially catastrophic event says DHS is “working to evaluate the need for a program management office to provide steady consistent leadership in both the public and private sector engagements” on risk reduction.
