The Iowa Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network is hosting a free event that includes an emergency response seminar and a tabletop exercise (TTX). The seminar presentations will cover topics related to IOWARN, as well as water and wastewater preparedness and response. The TTX will be based on a hypothetical scenario designed to bring together water, wastewater, public safety, county and state agencies to discuss roles and responsibilities.
This event is open to member utilities and non-member utilities, as well as response partners that are interested in learning more about IOWARN. An application will be made for Iowa water and wastewater operators to earn training hours toward their license renewal requirements for their participation in the entire event.
