The U.S. EPA has released its Water/Wastewater All-Hazards Boot Camp Training, a computer-based training course for water and wastewater utilities that focuses on emergency planning, response, and recovery activities and how they’re incorporated into a comprehensive all-hazard management program. The interactive training includes testimonials from water utility professionals, as well as links to helpful tools and resources to give utilities a head start on building resilience to all hazards. Many states have already pre-approved the course for continuing education hours for both water and wastewater personnel.

This training course is designed for water and wastewater employees responsible for emergency response and recovery activities. It also explains why and how to implement an all-hazards program.

Walk through a scenario with Our Town Utility staff, hear from water sector representatives, and test your knowledge on the following topics:

· Prevention and mitigation
· Preparedness
· Response
· Recovery
