EPA SWIFT Webinar: Natural Hazard Technical Assistance for Updating Your Emergency Response Plan (October 14, 2026)

Free EPA webinar on using EPA data, tools, templates and no-cost technical assistance to address natural hazards in a water utility's emergency response plan.

Community water systems serving more than 3,300 people must recertify their emergency response plan with EPA every five years, and the final recertification deadline for systems serving 3,301 to 49,999 people is December 31, 2026. This session from EPA's Strengthening Water Infrastructure for Tomorrow (SWIFT) initiative walks through hazard data, templates and free customized technical assistance for updating those plans. EPA also encourages smaller drinking water systems, wastewater and stormwater utilities to build plans. Operator continuing education credit has been requested.
