ARLX006 Annual WX4NHC On-the-Air Station Test Set for Saturday, May 29
Earth EX
What is Earth EX
EARTH EX is an annual online exercise designed to present an opportunity for participants to test their plans, policies, and procedures against one of the six Black Sky Scenarios. EEX 2021 is the fifth delivery of the EARTH EX concept and is the most ambitious to date. EARTH EX is a Multi-Sector, International Exercise Focusing on Government, Business, and Community Continuity in response to a global threat to destabilize networks and critical lifeline utilities. The overarching threat is to impact the secular world by directly impacting the financial markets and confidence in the modern industrialized governments and economies. We are driving thoughts and discussions towards identifying the critical elements and path to achieve a global continuity plan for increased resilience.
Robert Smith (N0ZFV) brought this to my attention today as a possible BCARES training exercise, and to spread the word about this program that can be utilized by individuals as well as groups.
