Abstract
- Extreme weather events and associated damages to the electricity system are increasing. Actions are being taken to enhance resilience, but the pace of these enhancements do not meet the challenges faced by communities. This paper reviews federal funding programs that support community resilience efforts for electricity resilience, provides case studies, and highlights opportunities to reduce electricity system vulnerabilities including increasing awareness of federal funding opportunities, and adopting hazard-based design standards.
