“When serving as the FEMA administrator, and when I led the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency (RIEMA), I was always concerned about emergency power vulnerabilities at our critical infrastructure facilities, especially hospitals. One of the most important projects I launched at RIEMA was an emergency power resilience initiative to assess the generator fleet in our hospitals and evaluate the existing protocol for generator status reporting during outages. I turned to Eric Cote to help lead this project given his expertise in this area. Eric helped us identify some vulnerabilities and worked with me and my staff to create a new protocol to accelerate emergency power threat reporting. Eric also authored Protecting Patients When Disaster Strikes, a heralded RIEMA Playbook that introduced our new emergency power status reporting protocol and other best practices to safeguard emergency power. Eric brought a lot of passion to this project and I was proud to see him use our initiative as a roadmap for a similar project he led in California.”
