In July 2019, the Office of Electricity (OE) published a Request for Information (RFI) seeking input on cost-effective ways to enhance the resilience of oil and natural gas infrastructure systems against severe weather events, including windstorms, floods, wildfires, etc. The responses from industry and associations are posted below, verbatim and without endorsement or comment. OE is reviewing the responses to identify best practices and will post that information as it is available.

Note: Some of the responses below address both the RFI on Oil and Natural Gas Infrastructure Systems and the RFI on Electric Infrastructure Systems so those comments will be listed, in duplicate, on each page.

For more information about this RFI, please contact: David.Meyer@hq.doe.gov
