The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Environmental Protection will host a September 7 Workshop on Water Company/Healthcare Coordination During Emergencies at DEP’s Southeast Regional Office, 2 East Main Street in Norristown, Montgomery County from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Extreme weather events and other disasters can disrupt water services and impact public health and healthcare delivery.
There can be devastating effects without proper coordination and communication between the sectors. What can be done to better prepare for such events?
This one-day workshop is designed to bring together water utility staff, public health, and healthcare personnel to discuss concerns and priorities during a disaster.
Training contact hours (TCHs) for PA drinking water operators licenses are being applied for.
