The Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA) is the professional Association serving state drinking water programs. Formed in 1984 to address a growing need for state administrators to have national representation, ASDWA has become a respected voice for state primacy agents with Congress, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and other professional organizations.
Elevating Drinking Water as a National Priority
One of the most important roles ASDWA has is to make sure no one stops thinking about water. Whether that means spending time on the Hill to speak with Congressional staff about drinking water issues, or expanding the reach of our communications to the public by way of social media, ASDWA is constantly working to advance our message of public health protection on behalf of our members. Having safe drinking water is taken for granted by many, so ASDWA continually emphasizes drinking water’s importance for public health and for the economy.

This webinar covers the basics of the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC), the primary instrument for sharing of resources across state lines during governor-declared emergencies, and provides examples of recent successful EMAC deployments for the water sector, including during Hurricane Irma. Past and current EPA-sponsored EMAC workshops are also highlighted.
Webinar discussions focus on lessons learned from previous EMAC deployments, and how primacy agencies can best work with emergency operations personnel to support the process.
