What is NAERM?

The NAERM System combines multiple energy and interdependent infrastructure models with system data and realistic natural hazard and human threat scenarios to provide actionable information to energy system planners, operators, and government stakeholders.

Energy System Planners

  • How will our decisions affect the resilience of our energy delivery systems?
  • How can we maintain support for critical functions during and after events?
  • How do we engineer more robust solutions to enable rapid restoration and recovery?

Energy System Operators

  • How can we maintain situational awareness to rapidly identify and respond to emerging threats?
  • How do we make risk-informed decisions during and after events?
  • How can we minimize large-scale impacts once an attack is underway?

Federal and State Agencies

  • How can we provide national-scale insights to inform federal and state emergency response?
  • How can we determine what help is needed before, during, and after a disruption?
  • What information do we need to coordinate efforts across agencies and rapidly recover from disasters?
