"The training in Columbia County and at Wisconsin’s Emergency Operations center in Madison starts Nov. 14,
and is in conjunction with a national-level exercise,
known as Grid Ex, that takes place Nov. 15-16, officials said.
The public might see increased law enforcement presence and military personnel, including non-military unmanned aerial vehicles,
in the area starting Nov. 14, according to a release.
The exercise will continue until mid-morning the next day.
GridEx tests local, county and state emergency management officials, as well as National Guard and private utilities partners, on their responses to sustained power outages resulting from threats to the power grid, officials said."
This exercise may provide civilian insight into utilities, Law enforcement, and military policies and procedures to be used during a sustained power outage.
Please note that this exercise also includes non-military unmanned aerial vehicles.
This exercise has nothing to do with threats from "Rocket Man"...... rite !../s
