9. Exercise Lessons Learned
No substitute for relationships developed pre-event; Trust is central to our success
Interagency relationships must be predictive & habitual
Understanding agency/unit capability is critical in ICS
Local Jargon & Acronyms negatively impact communications
Need to synchronize and prepare for systems that are not designed to be compatible
Exercise vs Validation. Understand the intent of the Exercise & agree on common outcomes

10. Exercise Understandings
Exercise will be Functional /Command Post Exercise (CPX) only
Functional Areas will determine down trace participation, integration and coordination into the exercise
Each participating agency will be incur its own cost; no expectation of MING for reimbursement for personnel, equipment or other expenses
Memorandum of Agreements will be signed between MING and each Participating Agency NLT 12JAN17 (Middle Planning Meeting)

23. Cyber Scenario for NE17
Cyber scenario for FEMA Region V based on Lloyd’s report “Business Blackout”
Malware goes undetected until it is triggered (zero day vulnerability).
Hackers covertly and systematically disable safety systems that would usually protect the generators from desynchronization events.
Multiple sites are compromised but protective relays make attack non-viable at 50% of these sites.
In roughly 10% of infection cases, attacker is able to access certain vulnerable generators:
Results in overload and burn out, in some cases causing physical damage.
Attack occurs during summer peak-day conditions.
Sudden reduction in generating capacity triggers blackout throughout FEMA Region V.
