Description:

Every system will have an emergency. Identifying potential risks and taking measures to mitigate their impact are the first steps to a successful recovery. In part one of this two-part training, we will look at tools and techniques for assessing where your system may experience service interruption, unsafe water or any other harm.

 

Participants will learn:

·        How to identify risks to their system

·        How to utilize available tools to begin mitigation efforts

·        To understand the cost and benefits of instituting mitigation efforts

·        To access tools for the completion of a hazard mitigation process

 

The recommended audience includes operators, managers and board members.

 

In part one of this training, you will have learned about pre-hazard mitigation planning and how to reduce drinking water system vulnerabilities. In part two, we will provide water system personnel with the information and resources needed to respond preemptively and proactively to most emergency situations. A water system emergency is any situation which causes water outages, unsafe drinking water or any harm to humans or animals. The emergency may have been created by a fire, flood or vandalism and having a written response plan, lines of communication and mutual aid agreements in place prior to an emergency will provide an avenue for thoughtful response.

 

Participants will learn:

·        How to develop an emergency response plan and identify the eight core elements required in the ERP
·        How to assess vulnerability and complete risk ranking as we introduce the concept of the vulnerability assessment
·        The benefits of mutual aid agreements
·        Where to look for resources to complete a written ERP

The recommended audience includes operators, managers and board members.
