The CPUC’s Safety Action Plan, which helps to fully integrate safety in all aspects of the CPUC’s work, calls for an annual Safety En Banc that provides for an interactive discussion of utility safety.  The 2016 Safety En Banc is devoted to a discussion of interconnected critical infrastructures, such as gas, electric, communications, transportation, and water.  The En Banc will explore the manner in which critical infrastructures are interconnected, such that a disruption in one infrastructure may have cascading adverse effects in others.  The En Banc will include a presentation on interconnected infrastructures, and small breakout sessions during which Commissioners and invited stakeholders will discuss different topics related to interconnected infrastructures.

Although a quorum of Commissioners and/or their staff may be in attendance, no official CPUC action will be taken at this event.  With the exception of the breakout sessions, this En Banc will be available via webcast at: http://www.adminmonitor.com/ca/cpuc/
