Climate-resilience evaluation and awareness tool training modules available online

Training modules for EPA's Climate Resilience Evaluation and Awareness Tool (CREAT) software are now available for viewing or download. The CREAT software was developed under the agency's Climate Ready Water Utilities (CRWU) initiative, which provides drinking water, wastewater, and storm water utilities with practical tools, training, and technical assistance to confront climate change through climate-related risk assessment.

Check Up Program for Small Systems (CUPSS) Train-the-Trainer Webinar Series

This 6-hour presentation will consist of comprehensive training on how to use the CUPSS asset-management software. It will closely follow the CUPSS Users Guide; an overview of each module (with screenshots) followed by exercises on how to use the module. To participate in this training, users will be asked to log in from their own computer. Users can begin their asset-management process through this training, or they can follow the presenter's hypothetical scenario. The EPA sponsored web-based conference delivery will be separated into three 2-hour sessions.
