Third Thursday Advocacy Jam! –June
June 17, 2021
2:30–3:30 p.m. CT
Recent disasters, including Winter Storm Uri’s impact on water utilities in Houston, TX, and the cyber-attack on a water treatment facility in Oldsmar, FL, have only further emphasized the critical role that public works professionals play as first responders engaged in disaster response and mitigation. They have also raised potential legal issues with mutual aid agreements that may impede the ability of public works agencies to cooperate in their response to these events. Please join APWA’s US and Canadian Government Affairs staff for an open-ended discussion of how mutual aid agreements can be improved, ways to raise awareness of the role of public works in emergency management, and how APWA can be a resource in these difficult situations. We look forward to hearing your thoughts – join the conversation!
