Authority on Homeland Security to Lead Electric Industry Event
on Disaster Response and Recovery Planning
The events of 9/11 redefined business continuity plans, infrastructure protection, emergency preparedness and planning, and disaster recovery for all organizations nationwide. More recently, the unprecedented scale of the August blackout reaffirmed the critical role of electric utilities in the Nation’s infrastructure. Recognizing the need for utilities to develop comprehensive plans that address response to and recovery from all threats – natural hazards, technological failures, or terrorism – the Center for Business Intelligence will hold a conference entitled “PREPARE FOR DISASTER RESPONSE AND RECOVERY FOR THE ELECTRIC INDUSTRY: TERRORISM, WEATHER AND CUSTOMER OUTAGES” on October 2-3, 2003 in Alexandria, Virginia. Alston & Bird attorney
In addition to chairing the conference, Kipp Coddington will speak on legal and policy issues that utilities and other companies should consider when they formulate critical infrastructure policies or deal with the Department of Homeland Security or other security-related government agencies. Those issues include antitrust protections under the Defense Production Act and information disclosure in the context of the Freedom of Information Act.
