Multiple other state and national plans are discussed throughout this Energy Assurance Plan document. See the section on Assessing the Consequences and Severity of Energy Emergencies for information on Emergency Support Function 12 Energy and Utilities Annex. The Management Decision Process section discusses the Energy Supply Disruption Tracking Process (ESDTP) Report and how it is utilized in the EAP. The Louisiana Fuel Team Playbook is discussed in multiple sections including, Stage Agencies and Their Roles in Energy Assurance and Emergency Communication Procedures.
Each of these state plans is included in the overarching Louisiana State Emergency Operations Plan which describes each agencies role in responding to emergencies as well as the chain of command.
The National Response Framework and National Incident Management Systems structure with regard to incident command are utilized throughout the state EOP as well as the LA BEOC and the EAP.
Linkages to Non-Government Private Sector Plans and Procedures and Coordination with the Private Sector
The LA BEOC is a unique partnership between government and non-government entities that is discussed in detail throughout the EAP. See the, Private Energy Producers, Largest Consumers, Associations and their Interaction with the State, Emergency Communication Procedures, and Stage Agencies and Their Roles in Energy Assurance sections for greater detail.
Enhancing the Resiliency and Protecting Critical Energy Infrastructure
State Plan for Protecting Critical Infrastructure
The state of Louisiana has detailed plans in place and partnerships established with private industry that own and operate 85% of the critical infrastructure in the state. The identification of and communication between entities that own and operate critical infrastructure is coordinated by GOHSEP in coordination with the US Department of Homeland Security through their Protective Security Advisors (PSA). See the Management Decision Process section of this document for greater detail on the PSA.
Roles and Responsibilities of State Agencies Involved with Critical Infrastructure
Critical infrastructure related roles and responsibilities for GOHSEP include:
-
Acting as a focal point for and promoting the coordination of protective and emergency response activities, preparedness programs, and resource support among local jurisdictions and regional partners
-
Developing a consistent approach to CIKR identification, risk determination, mitigation planning, and prioritized security investment, and exercising preparedness among all relevant stakeholders within their jurisdictions;
-
Identifying, implementing, and monitoring a risk management plan and taking corrective actions as appropriate;
-
Participating in significant national, regional, and local awareness programs to encourage appropriate management and security of cyber systems;
-
Acting as conduits for requests for federal assistance when the threat of current situation exceeds the capabilities of state and local jurisdictions and private entities resident within them;
-
Facilitating the exchange of security information, including threat assessments and other analysis, attack indications and warning, and advisories, within and across jurisdictions and sectors therein
The enhancement of reliability and resiliency throughout the state is something that is taken very seriously in Louisiana. Due to the history of disruptions that have occurred in Louisiana, discussed in the Historical Disruptions to the Louisiana Energy Profile section, the state has had to plan for the worst. This is evidenced by the work towards building partnerships with established lines of communication between the private sector and the government, the creation of smart grid technology, and the processes in place to track disruptions and respond to them accordingly. These plans and partnerships will be critical in times of emergency when things are chaotic. The creation of technologies around maintaining energy supply and reducing the time of disruption will go a long way towards creating a energy resilient state.
