Free water sector interdependencies training

The Water Environment Federation (WEF), in cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), announces a series of general awareness trainings on water sector interdependencies. The training is offered at no cost to eligible participants. However, participants are responsible for their own travel arrangements and costs. Executives, managers, and operators of water sector (water and wastewater) utilities, as well as representatives from other critical infrastructures, are the target audience of the training.

Free webinar series on Incident Command System and National Incident Management System

WaterISAC has teamed up with U.S. EPA to offer free, water sector-centric webinar-based training on the Incident Command System (ICS) and National Incident Management System (NIMS). All water utility employees who may be required to respond during an emergency must possess a minimum level of ICS and NIMS training. In the last few years, the U.S. EPA has sponsored dozens of ICS and NIMS classes for the water sector around the country.
