Safety and Health Outreach for Public Utilities - Emergency Response PlansOverview The Bio-terrorism Act requires that any community water system serving a population greater than 3,300 must perform a Vulnerability Assessment, prepare an Emergency Response Plan (ERP), have it certified and send the certification to the EPA within 6 months after completion of the vulnerability assessment. This session will provide the participant with an understanding of the steps required to develop, test, certify and maintain an Emergency Response Plan, and how this plan is put into practice. The student will receive instruction on the requirements of emergency response planning, an overview of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and templates for developing an ERP. In addition, there will be discussions on lessons learned during recent emergencies that can assist participants in enhancing the security at their facilities. The workshop will culminate with the student participating in a tabletop utility emergency response exercise designed to provide an understanding of the dynamics of emergency operations. This exercise, along with the class discussion, will give the participant insight useful for developing, testing and maintaining an Emergency Response Plan. Funding for this course provided, in part, by a grant from EPA. Intended Audience: Security managers and directors, Emergency management professionals, Facility and Infrastructure managers and operators.
