U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s (EPA) Creating Resilient Water Utilities (CRWU<\/a>) initiative is providing a series of five, free<\/em> webinars<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019d appreciate your assistance in promoting our upcoming workshops which focus on how water utilities in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. (DE, MD, PA, VA, NJ, NY, CT) can adapt to climate change. \u00a0\u00a0The virtual training sessions are\u00a0free<\/em>, 2-hour webinars. Below is information on this five-part webinar series. \u00a0Also attached is an informational flyer that provides more details on the training series.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s (EPA) Creating Resilient Water Utilities (CRWU<\/a>) initiative is providing a series of five, free<\/em> webinars for drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater (water sector) utility owners and operators, as well as other water sector stakeholders in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. This webinar training series titled \u201cBuilding Resilience and Adapting to Climate Change Impacts for Drinking Water and Wastewater Utilities\u201d <\/strong>begins with an Introductory webinar concentrating on the impacts of climate change in the Mid-Atlantic, the identification of adaptation options, and a utility climate change risk assessment case study. The following four webinars focus on conducting a climate change risk assessment using EPA\u2019s Climate Resilience Evaluation and Awareness Tool (CREAT)<\/a>, developing resilience and adaptation projects, and identifying financing programs to pay for infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CREAT is a web-based risk assessment application for water sector utilities to assess and address current and potential future climate change impacts. This free <\/em>training will help utilities incorporate climate change considerations into their decision-making, identify adaptation projects to build long-term resilience, and learn about federal and local resources for financing utility resilience projects. To learn more about CREAT success stories visit our Case Study and Information Exchange Map<\/a> and to view other trainings visit the CRWU Training Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n
