Description: This webinar will lead you through a quick scan to check on your all-around needs for resilience to protect water service continuity in the face of disruptions and stressors. Service impacts come in many forms, from unpredictable emergency events but also from risks that build quietly over time and are internal as well as external. Resilience needs exist in every aspect of your business. In this webinar you’ll use a 360 approach to identify needs to strengthen resilience in multiple areas including, but more than, natural hazards such as cybersecurity, fiscal readiness, workforce and more. You’ll leave the webinar with a punch list of any priority needs, and opportunities to connect to further training and technical assistance.

Learning Objectives:

• Gain an understanding of a full range of resilience needs for your DW system
• Create a first-cut checklist of areas needing follow-up attention
• Be connected with training and technical assistance resources from the Environmental Finance Center Network (EFCN) for priority needs
• Receive the supporting document Resilience Readiness Tool with additional information resources to continue the needs assessment
