Governors can play a critical role during a widespread electrical grid outage. The goal of this project is to help states improve their ability to respond and recover from such an event. State teams work with the NGA Center to identify best practices and solutions and identify action steps to address challenges discovered. NGA will subsequently share lessons learned with other states.
