EIS WEBINARS CONTINUE TO GAIN IN STATUS AND PARTICIPATION. THE WEBINARS ARE USUALLY HELD EVERY OTHER MONTH AND HAVE CONSISTENTLY DRAWN REGISTRATIONS OF 200-500 PEOPLE. THE WEBINARS, BY NECESSITY, HAVE THE EXPERT PANEL IN DISCUSSION, WHILE THE "AUDIENCE" CAN INTERJECT QUESTIONS OF COMMENTS VIA CHAT. THANKS TO THE INTEREST OF A BROADER AUDIENCE, WE INCREASED OUR DATABASE OF PROSPECTS TO 15,000. EARTH EX : EARTH EX, IS THE WORLD'S LARGEST MULTI-SECTOR, MULTI-NATION RESILIENCE EXERCISE SERIES, FOCUSED ON PREPARATIONS FOR EXTREME, BLACK SKY DISASTERS. IN ITS FIRST FIVE YEARS, MORE THAN 11,000 PARTICIPANTS FROM MORE THAN 40 NATIONS WERE ENGAGED. LOCAL EMERGENCY MANAGERS, HEALTH CARE AND ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES WERE PARTICULARLY APPRECIATIVE FOR THE TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES THESE UNIQUE EXERCISES PROVIDED FOR VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES. BUILDING ON ITS REMARKABLE HISTORY, PLANS ARE MOVING FORWARD FOR A MAJOR UPGRADE: A NEW MULTI-PLAYER PLATFORM POWERED BY GINOM -- TO ENABLE, TRULY COLLABORATIVE MULTICORPORATE BLACK SKY EXERCISES, WORLDWIDE. ONCE COMPLETE, GINOM MOS WILL PROVIDE THE VEHICLE FOR MULTICORPORATE SIMULATION IN THE NEW EARTH EX PLATFORM. THIS WILL ENABLE OPERATORS IN DIFFERENT SECTORS TO COLLABORATE ON RECOVERY OPTIONS IN A WIDE VARIETY OF EXTREME DISASTER SCENARIOS. WHILE GINOM'S DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES, THE EARTH EX TEAM IS HOSTING A SERIES OF ONLINEEARTH EX LIVE! EXERCISES TO TEST AND OPTIMIZE PLANNING FOR THE NEW PLATFORM. A. EARTH EX REBOOT: RAISING THE BAR FOR DISASTER PLANNING EXERCISES. WHEN COMPLETE, THE UPGRADE WILL MAKE EARTH EX A COMPLETELY NEW, FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND, HIGHLY ENGAGING INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE, READY FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS AND BEYOND.B. CYBERTECH: THE EARTH EX TEAM SUPPORTED CYBERTECH IN TEL AVIV AND NEW YORK IN 2024 WITH A CHALLENGING EXERCISE DELIVERED IN A LIMITED TIME FORMAT. C. AVAILABLE ORGANIZATION-FOCUSED EXERCISES:IN PARALLEL WITH THE EARTH EX UPGRADE, WE CONTINUE HOSTING A SERIES OF ONLINE BLACK SKY EXERCISES. THESE ARE AVAILABLE AND FREE TO PLAY AT ANY TIME THROUGH OUR WEBSITE. THESE SCENARIOS INCLUDE CYBER, ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE, MEGAFIRES, EXTREME FLOODING. D. EARTH EX LIVE: THE EARTH EX TEAM INCORPORATES A LIVE MULTI-SECTOR EXERCISE WITH AUDIENCE INVOLVEMENT MULTIPLE TIMES A YEAR. EXPERTS FROM DIFFERENT ROTATING SECTORS DISCUSS THEIR APPROACHES TO DEALING WITH LARGE-SCALE SCENARIOS THAT IMPACT ALL SECTORS. EARTH EX LIVE ATTRACTS HUNDREDS OF PARTICIPANT REGISTRATIONS FOR EACH EVENT. R2P SUMMIT: IN APRIL 2023, THE EIS COUNCIL AND IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON LAUNCHED THEIR FIRST JOINT SUMMIT. THE EVENT WASHELD AT IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON PREMISES WITH OVER 200 PARTICIPANTS. THROUGHOUT THE CONFERENCE, EXPERT PANELISTS EXAMINED EMERGING, EXTREME "BLACK SKY" HAZARD SCENARIOS, AS A GROWING THREAT TO OUR CIVILIZATION'S TIGHTLY CONNECTED INTERDEPENDENT INFRASTRUCTURES, AND AN EXPANDING RISK FOR HUMAN CONTINUITY. IN EACH SESSION, SCIENTISTS, POLITICAL AND INDUSTRIAL LEADERS, EDUCATORS AND POLICYMAKERS FROM MANY SECTORS AND NATIONS LED WHAT ALSO BECAME AN EXTENSIVE DIALOGUE WITH CONFERENCE DELEGATES, CONSIDERING BOTH THESE EVOLVING THREAT SCENARIOS AND, AS A SPECIAL FOCUS, CONCRETE RECOMMENDATIONS TO BUILD SOCIETAL RESILIENCE FOR OUR RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD. THE PARTNERSHIP WITH IMPERIAL COLLEGE CONTINUED, WITH THE SECOND CONFERENCE, RENAMED THE RESILIENT, RENEWABLE SOCIETY (R2S) TAKING PLACE IN SEPTEMBER 2024.IN THE INTERVENING MONTHS BETWEEN THE TWO MAJOR CONFERENCES LISTED ABOVE, EIS CONTINUED ITS EXCELLENT PARTNERSHIP WITH PJM INTERCONNECTION, THE WORLD'S LARGEST ELECTRICITY MARKET IN THE WORLD, ALSO RECENTLY HOSTED THE RESILIENT, RENEWABLE ELECTRIC PLANET (R2EP) ON CONFERENCE ON FEBRUARY 5-6, 2024, WITH 40 SPEAKERS AND 100 ATTENDEES. PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT OUTPUT OF THE R2EP CONFERENCE WERE THE FACILITATION EFFORTS THAT HAVE SINCE CONTINUED. LEADERS FROM ACROSS THE ELECTRIC SECTOR AND ITS PARTNERS PARTICIPATED IN WORKING GROUPS, FOCUSING ON ACTION-ORIENTED OPTIONS FOR A ROBUST, RESILIENT, GREENER FUTURE. THE INITIAL WORKING GROUPS FORMED WERE: BLACKSTART;RESILIENCE AND REDUNDANCY POLICY; EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT; AND DATA CENTER RESILIENCE. THE CONFERENCE EXPLORED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THESE AND RELATED OPTIONS FOR INTERDEPENDENT SECTORS:GOVERNMENT, FINANCE, TRANSPORTATION, ENERGY, AND LIFELINE UTILITIES. AS A RESULTOF THIS CONFERENCE, EIS CREATED THE FOUR WORKING GROUPS THAT CONTINUE THE DISCUSSIONS MONTHLY, DEVELOPING WHITEPAPERS AND OTHER PLANS AND STRATEGIES TO IMPLEMENT IMPROVEMENTS IN BLACKSTART CAPABILITY, PROMOTION OF RESILIENCE THROUGH INCENTIVES AND REGULATIONS, ROBUST COMMUNICATIONS FOR THE ENERGY SECTOR THAT ARE NOT RELIANT ON COMMERCIAL TELECOM, AND A MORE HOLISTIC LOOK AT DATA CENTER ENERGY USE AND SECURITY. 1481141 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 9 0 1 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 4 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 CA X RANLYN HILL 3104419635 10767 NATIONAL PLACE B LOS ANGELES CA 90034 PAUL WILLIAMS PRESIDENT & DIRECTOR (AS OF 03/24) 40.00 X X 84667 0 0 AVI SCHNURR CEO & DIRECTOR 40.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID HORWATT SECRETARY/ TREASURER/DIRECTOR 20.00 X X 0 0 0 RITA EMERSON DIRECTOR 10.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN HOUSTON DIRECTOR 10.00 X 0 0 0 DR NEIL SIEGEL DIRECTOR 10.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER A BECK VP POLICY & STRATEGIC INITIATIVE 40.00 X 157567 0 5838 DR EHUD GANANI VICE PRESIDENT 40.00 X 104400 0 0 ANTHONY BUCCI TECH.
