Operational Resilience – Register for EPA’s Creating Resilient Water Utilities (CRWU) National Webinar Series

EPA’s Creating Resilient Water Utilities (CRWU) Initiative is excited to offer a new, free webinar series sharing climate adaptation stories of drinking water and wastewater utilities. With many natural hazards becoming more frequent and intense due to climate change, utilities are encouraged to attend these information sessions and learn how other utilities are strengthening their resilience in today’s changing climate.

EPA’s CRWU initiative provides water and wastewater utilities with practical tools, training, and technical assistance to increase system resilience to climate change impacts. CRWU helps promote a clear understanding of climate data and helps water sector utilities identify potential adaptation strategies, implementation options, and infrastructure financing.

According to EPA, this webinar series will be focusing on the experiences of water and wastewater utilities dealing with climate and weather-related impacts and vulnerabilities, funding challenges and workable solutions, while incorporating how utilities are utilizing CRWU’s information and tools.

Webinars included in the series:

• Session 1: Utility Success Stories Roundtable Tue, Dec 3 from 1-3 p.m. ET
• Session 2: Climate Impacts Panel Thu, Dec 5 from 1-3 p.m. ET
• Session 3: Success in Adaptation Funding Tue, Dec 10 from 1-3 p.m. ET
• Session 4: CREAT 101: Adaptation Tools Thu, Dec 12 from 1-3 p.m. ET
