EPA and ASDWA Host COOP Webinar for Labs

EPA’s Water Security Division (EPA WSD) and ASDWA hosted a joint webcast on the Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) Template for Drinking Water and Wastewater Laboratories on Thursday, September 18, 2014. Developed by EPA’s WSD Water Laboratory Alliance (WLA) team, the COOP Template is designed to help state, utility, and private laboratories enhance the reliability of critical laboratory operations during a crisis. A COOP Template Fillable Form will be available shortly, but in the meantime, the Instructions for Continuity of Operations Plan Template for Drinking Water and Wastewater Laboratories can be accessed at: http://water.epa.gov/infrastructure/watersecurity/wla/index.cfm.

The recorded webcast is available on ASDWA’s website.  Just click this link www.asdwa.org/security and scroll to the first item in the Important Documents section.  If you have any questions about the webinar, COOP plans for labs, or the soon to be released Template, please email WLA@epa.gov.
