Cascading Electricity Failure Public Education

08/30/21

“Why will we need to educate people about cascading electricity failures?”

If you live in the continental United States, you’ve probably seen a lot of news this year about environmental disasters knocking out power and inducing cascading electricity failure. Whether it be a snowstorm in Texas, wildfires in California, or flooding in New Orleans, the power grid can’t seem to work right. Since electricity failures can happen anytime anywhere, the public needs to be kept aware of how they might occur and what they can do. This can be done through public events led by municipal governments, classroom studies, internet webinars, and many other forms. This is why Cascading Electricity Failure Public Education is so critical for true climate adaptation.
