The requirement for water suppliers to have an emergency response plan and how to develop, train, exercise and keep up to date will also be reviewed. Finally, the numerous resources which EPA has developed to assist water suppliers with meeting these requirements will be covered along with how to certify to EPA that the work has been completed.
