 • | Middlesex participated in two company wide tabletop exercises in 2024 to test our emergency response protocols and existing business      
 continuation plans to different scenarios including hurricane preparation and plant impacts. A Q4 2024 tabletop exercise, designed        
 to meet the New Jersey Water Quality Accountability Act, simulated realistic scenarios involving both cybersecurity breaches and physical 
 security incidents, ensuring a well- rounded preparedness strategy.                                                                       |
