Next webinar: Vulnerability Assessment, Take Three: Stories from the Field

 

Tuesday, July 30, 2014

11:00am PDT

 

Join the Academy for our third webinar in the series on vulnerability assessment. Our first two webinars focused on water supply vulnerability and assessment methodology.  

 

Our guests Keely Brooks of Southern Nevada Water Authority and Nicole Woodman of Flagstaff, AZ discuss their recent experiences with conducting vulnerability assessments for their organizations. Learn about two different approaches to vulnerability assessment, as they share with us how their organizations determined project scope and prioritized which vulnerabilities to address, and how much time and resources went into their assessment.
