The Colorado Water and Wastewater Agency Response Network (CoWARN) is hosting a free virtual EPA-sponsored communication-based functional exercise (FE) for water and wastewater system owners and operators, emergency management staff, and response partners from local, state and federal agencies. The virtual FE will provide an opportunity for participants to exercise emergency response capabilities in response to a hypothetical winter storm scenario affecting water and wastewater systems. Visit http://www.cowarn.org/ for more information about this mutual aid network. Once registered you will receive a link to join the event, which will use the Zoom virtual platform. Training units will be offered for the training for drinking water and wastewater operators. The FE facilitators, Horsley Witten Group (EPA Contractor), will contact you to discuss the FE in further detail.
Who should attend?
This FE is open to CoWARN member and non-member utilities and response partners (e.g., emergency management, healthcare facilities) interested in learning more about water sector mutual aid.
