The types of assets and examples are illustrative rather than comprehensive. b. These specific criteria are illustrative. There is no universal agreement on the numbers or types of assets shown here. Local governments must adjust these criteria to meet local needs. It is important to inventory key assets and any others that may be important to maintaining essential services that the local jurisdiction is responsible for, even if the local government does not own or operate them (as in the case of electricity generating power plants that may be miles away from the jurisdiction’s geographic border). The same should be done for any/all other non-city assets, such as regional hospitals, State/Federal government buildings, large commercial buildings, and industrial facilities. As part of the inventory, identify the entity having primary responsibility for providing energy to each asset, and the type of energy provided. Determine and log who has primacy for the entity—whether it is the local government or a different entity. This information is some of the most valuable that can be collected as part of the EAP. Mapping out key assets in a user-friendly graphic, as shown in Figure 6 (developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA] as part of its “community assessment tool”), is another effective element to consider during EAP development. 58 | 3 – How to Develop or Enhance a Local Energy Assurance Plan

Identify key services and work to ensure that related customers are considered priority customers by the suppliers. It is easy to overlook this last point. If the jurisdiction and suppliers do not discuss priority customers (like the emergency operations center) then when a supply shortage or disruption occurs, the companies may not restore energy rapidly to the facilities that are deemed as essential by the jurisdiction. Be aware that groups with different vested interests will have different and sometimes competing priorities. The facilities that each local jurisdiction deems critical are important, but are only one set of elements on a long list of priorities.
