I. Introduction
THE impact of climate change has increased the frequency and the severity of weather-related events globally. The year 2019 is the sixth consecutive year in which 10 or more billion-dollar weather and climate disaster events have affected the United States [1]. The prevailing electric power infrastructure is prone to disastrous events leading to larger power outages in a distribution system. The present power market and delivery model is highly centralized and vertically integrated. To enable grid resiliency under the circumstances, traditional reliability requirements such as contingency criterion (N-1, or N-2) are not sufficient to ensure the availability of the power. Such measures are rather feasible for low-impact/highly-probable events than high-impact events [2].
