Laboratories face unique resilience challenges based on their missions, locations, and workforce composition. This 2020 Energy Exchange Extra session will explore cases from three Department of Energy national laboratories with different experiences in resilience. When Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory was faced with unplanned power outages, it had to had to react quickly to implement a resilience strategy to maintain mission critical work. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve developed their resilience strategies using the Federal Energy Management Program's Technical Resilience Navigator. This session will explore how these sites addressed their resilience challenges and how their lessons learned can be applied to other labs.
