Climate Resiliency Training

EPA is providing Training Webinars for the Water Sector on the Climate Resilience Evaluation and Awareness Tool.  The Climate Resilience Evaluation and Awareness Tool (CREAT) supports water sector utilities in conducting climate related risk assessments, evaluating adaptation options, and understanding climate threats.  EPA is currently delivering a nine-webinar series of training materials for CREAT that will continue through November 15 including: CREAT 101, an introduction to the tool; CREAT 201, an overview of setup steps and climate science information within the tool; and CREAT 202, an overview of the analysis and reporting functions within the tool.  These training webinars provide water sector utilities with a detailed understanding of how climate change may impact utility facilities and operations, encouraging wider adoption of climate related risk assessments and adaptation plans.
