Wildfire Impacts on Water Infrastructure
VirtualThis presentation will discuss EPA’s emergency response efforts to the Maui wildfires and ongoing research to further understand contamination of water infrastructure. Research topics include uptake and release of contaminants in hot and cold pipes commonly used in premise plumbing and the effects of hot gasses and smoke on drinking water pipes.
Assessing Community Vulnerabilities to Potential Contaminant Releases from Extreme Events
VirtualThe Handbook on Indicators of Community Vulnerability to Extreme Events: Considering Sites and Waste Management Facilities provides the conceptual framework and indicators approach. Join the webinar to learn more about the handbook and how to use the approach.
PFAS: National Primary Drinking Water Regulation, Occurrence, Analytics, and Risk Communications Webinar
VirtualPresentations will focus on the initial monitoring requirement and analytical methods to be used under the regulation, the use of grant funding for small and disadvantaged community treatment programs, characterization, and risk communication and community engagement
EPA Tools & Resources Training Webinar: Equitable Resilience Builder
VirtualThis training webinar will demonstrate the EPA’s Equitable Resilience Builder (ERB) tool, which incorporates local knowledge and experience into the development of a resilience, hazard mitigation, or climate adaptation plan.
Coastal Dissolved Oxygen Dynamics and A Brief Introduction to the Hypoxia Task Force
VirtualEPA ORD Harmful Algal Blooms, Hypoxia, and Nutrients Research Webinar - Coastal Dissolved Oxygen Dynamics and A Brief Introduction to the Hypoxia Task Force.
EPA’s Water Security Test Bed: Critical Infrastructure Research
VirtualThis presentation will discuss EPA’s first-of-its-scale Water Security Test Bed (WSTB), which replicates a section of a typical municipal drinking water piping system to better understand the behavior of water systems under real-world conditions.
EPA Tools & Resources Webinar: 5th National Climate Assessment – Resources and Interactive Atlas
VirtualReleased in November 2023, the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5) is the US Government’s preeminent report on climate change impacts, risks and responses. Led by the U.S. Global Research Program (USGCRP) and its 14 member agencies, including
Lead Reduction Updates and Lead Service Line Identification and Replacement
VirtualPresentations will include an overview of EPA regulations and programs designed to reduce lead in drinking water and current efforts to provide technical assistance for lead service line identification; a review of new technologies, methods, and predictive modeling tools for identifying service line materials; and an overview of sampling methods for identifying lead service lines.
EPA Tools & Resources Training Webinar: ECOTOX Knowledgebase and PFAS Updates
VirtualBy leveraging this knowledge, EPA remains committed to providing clear, actionable, and accessible information about PFAS to the public, researchers, and risk assessors.
Local Partnerships: Developing Solutions for Rapid Needs
VirtualOver the past several years in EPA Region 6, splash pads connected to disinfected drinking water have been at risk of contamination. Presenters will discuss their investigation into this issue, identify best management practices, and provide risk mitigation tools for prevention and detection of various waterborne disease outbreaks.
EPA Tools & Resources Webinar – Better Together: Participatory Science Resources & Opportunities at EPA
VirtualThis webinar will explore three areas of participatory science focus at EPA: role of participatory science at EPA, key considerations and resources available when starting a project, and lessons learned and project spotlights.
