Description: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Exercise Division (NED) invites you to participate in the NLE 2012 Private Sector Coordination Meeting on Friday, December 9, 2011, from 8:30am to 11:00am.

 

Purpose & Objectives: This coordination meeting is part of the preparation for the upcoming NLE 2012 events.  The purpose of the event is to provide private sector partners with an overview of the NLE 2012 concept and framework, including an introduction to the core exercise objectives and the draft scenario.  FEMA will also use this forum to identify any additional objectives from the private sector to supplement the core NLE 2012 objectives.  Finally, FEMA will provide an overview of the potential NLE 2012 private sector participation opportunities.   

 

Exercise Overview:  The National Level Exercise (NLE) 2012, sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) National Exercise Division (NED) will examine the Nation’s ability to coordinate and implement prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery plans and capabilities pertaining to a significant cyber event or a series of related cyber events.  Unique to NLE 2012 will be an emphasis on the shared responsibility among the Federal Government; state, local, tribal nations and territories (SLTT); the private sector; and international partners to secure cyberspace and respond together to a significant cyber incident. Private sector participation will contribute to an improved understanding of the roles and responsibilities between the public and private sectors; the information sharing mechanisms available to coordinate decision-making and response activities; and the tools and resources available to assess vulnerabilities, mitigate risk, and improve cyber preparedness.  Participation will also assist government policy makers and incident managers better understand both the capabilities and the requirements of private sector partners, contributing to a more comprehensive and collaborative preparedness posture.  NLE 2012 will include four exercises, including a capstone event.  These exercises will share common scenario elements, planning efforts, and governance structure.  They include:

•§   Information Exchange Exercise;

•§   Cyber Effects/Cyber Storm Exercise;

•§   Whole Community Cyber Event with Physical Effects: Capstone Exercise; and

•§   Continuity Exercise: Eagle Horizon 2012.
