Environmental Resilience Tools Wizard Training Webinar Archive
This webinar, recorded on December 1st, 2021, provides an overview and demonstration of the Environmental Resilience Tools Wizard, a curated, online repository of EPA tools and resources designed to build community resilience to disasters.
The wizard was designed for use by state, tribal, and local environmental and emergency management agencies and it contains publicly available resources produced by EPA that address how to reduce disaster risks to the environment and human health. The wizard is “all-hazards” as resources may be used for homeland security incidents, other environmental or health emergencies, geophysical disasters, and/or extreme weather, in order to be used as part of disaster mitigation, preparedness, response or recovery. It also allows users to use keywords and filters to find the EPA resilience tools that best meet their needs.
This webinar provides an overview of the environmental dimensions of disasters and of building resilience and walks through examples of how to conduct searches and evaluate the results. The wizard was created to help state and local emergency managers, environmental and health agencies, and other users who may not be familiar with EPA resources that help build community resilience to disasters. It may also be useful to tribes, cities and counties implementing resilience or hazard mitigation plans, researchers, drinking water and wastewater utilities, and community or environmental organizations.
