El informe identifica oportunidades para implementar microrredes para aumentar la resiliencia del estado de West Virginia. Incluye los resultados del enfoque de tres fases de SEPA con partes interesadas clave en West Virginia para priorizar y evaluar microrredes potenciales para la resiliencia.

Natural disasters and extreme weather events have increased in both frequency and magnitude over the past several years. For the U.S., in 2021, US natural disasters caused $145B in economic damage and 20 weather events each had economic losses that totaled more than $1B.1 In West Virginia, floods, derechos and ice storms prompted the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to establish a permanent federal response team in the state.2 In West Virginia, these extreme weather events contribute to increased and erratic rainfall and flooding and are increasing in both frequency and economic impact, causing damage to the electrical system and disruption to the power supply, and disproportionately affecting underserved communities.
