The Tennessee Office of Energy Programs, with support from the National Association of State Energy Officials, will conduct a tabletop exercise to test and refine the State of Tennessee’s existing energy emergency planning capabilities to respond to a petroleum fuel supply disruption scenario. The intrastate exercise will be held on Wednesday, August 7, 2019. Exercise objectives include:

• Examine and clarify state agencies’ roles, responsibilities, authorities, and actions during a petroleum fuel supply disruption.
• Validate procedures and identify gaps to be addressed;
• Identify and improve communication and coordination protocols among state agencies, the private sector, federal government, and other states;
• Explore how an event would be managed at the local level in both large metropolitan and smaller communities; and
• Review draft revisions to the state’s Petroleum Contingency Plan.

Admission is by invitation only.
