Disaster Management for Water and Wastewater Utilities

The cities of Golden Valley and Crystal will be hosting a Disaster Management For Water and Wastewater Utilities course March 10 and 11, 2020. This FEMA-approved course is intended for all levels of staff involved in water and wastewater operations. Attached is a program informational flyer. Please note, this is the same course that was offered in February 2017. In order to maximize the reach of this training, those that attended the 2017 class will not be able to register for this class.

Recommended attendees: Public works staff involved in utilities from front-line to upper management are encouraged to attend.
 
Cost: There is no cost for the training as it is covered by Department of Homeland Security. However, due to the logistics of bringing in trainers and limited availability for this training, please do your best to commit attendees to fully attend the two days.
