Background
The Readiness & Resiliency Working Group (R2WG) was first established in May 2019 as the “Power Outage Working Group (POWG)” in preparation for potential PG&E initiated Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS). The working group is being expanded to apply an all-hazards approach to business continuity and include emergency preparedness, response, and recovery.
Purpose
The R2WG’s purpose is to identify and address critical preparedness elements in order to best position the Lab for safe and effective emergency and continuity response. This is accomplished by addressing lessons learned and best practices, developing and/or updating planning documents, and taking action on other preparedness initiatives, as necessary.
