A strike among workers at East Coast and Gulf Coast ports appears likely as the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) signals they do not expect to reach an agreement with the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) by the negotiation deadline on September 30. A strike could start as soon as 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, October 1, leading to supply chain disruptions. Utilities are encouraged to start preparing now for possible impacts to their supply chain.

WaterISAC and EPA are excited to announce the release of a new joint product series issued quarterly, the National Security Information Sharing Bulletin. The Information Sharing Bulletin (ISB) is intended for water and wastewater utility owners and operators to provide information on priority security and resilience topics, including cybersecurity, physical security, and natural disasters.

EPA’s “Hazard Mitigation for Natural Disasters: A Starter Guide for Water and Wastewater Utilities” is an interactive, user-friendly guide that details how utilities can mitigate natural disasters and their impacts. Utilities can use this guide to explore potential mitigation projects, which will help them better withstand and recover from natural hazard events, thereby increasing their overall resilience.

Monitoring source water and ensuring the safety of water supplies is a critical task for utilities. To help with that, EPA’s Water Infrastructure and Cyber Resilience Division (WICRD) created the “Water Quality Surveillance and Response System Program.” This program offers a framework designed to support the monitoring and management of distribution system water quality, including utility response to emergencies.
Last week, EPA released the Climate Resilience and Adaptation Funding Toolbox (CRAFT), which is a user-friendly, comprehensive website that contains resources and fact sheets to help federal funding applicants find, develop, apply for, and implement climate-resilient investments. The website helps applicants consider climate adaptation resilience before, during, and after applying for EPA funding opportunities.
