The increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events pose significant challenges to the resilience of power systems, particularly as the integration of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind accelerates. This paper explores the impact of extreme weather on power grid infrastructure and evaluates strategies to enhance resilience through the incorporation of renewable energy technologies. We analyze the vulnerabilities introduced by high dependencies on offshore wind and propose methods to mitigate risks associated with hurricanes and other high-impact, low-probability (HILP) events. Additionally, the role of distributed energy resources (DERs), including rooftop solar photovoltaics (PV) and electric vehicles (EVs), in supporting microgrids during outages is examined. Case studies demonstrate that effectively managed DERs can significantly improve grid resilience by providing backup energy and facilitating rapid recovery after disruptions. The paper concludes with a discussion on future research directions and the need for integrated planning to bolster power system resilience in the face of climate change
