Urban Shield and Grid Ex II Preparedness Drills
Two major regional preparedness exercises are scheduled: "Urban Shield" in Alameda County and "Grid Ex II" nationwide. Grid Ex II will simulate a massive physical and cyber attack on the North American power grid, involving over 150 companies and government agencies from the US, Canada, and Mexico. The hosts view these drills as "slave training" and potential precursors to real-world incidents.
