Disaster Resilience Essentials for Water and Wastewater Utilities aims to improve the resilience of water and wastewater utilities. It provides the essentials needed to gain a foundational understanding of water and wastewater-sector disaster preparedness principles.This course introduces the various natural and human-caused (accidental or intentional) hazards to which water and wastewater systems may be vulnerable and the potential effects of those hazards. It discusses how to plan for and manage incidents that may occur. Disaster mitigation, response, and recovery measures specific to drinking water and wastewater systems are also addressed. Participants are guided through portions of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Response Protocol Toolbox (RPTB) to identify steps in the response and recovery processes. Scenarios are presented throughout for an all-hazards incident that affects a utility.
