Using Contaminant Information in Evaluating Water Contamination Threats and Incidents

This training is designed for U.S. EPA On Scene Coordinators (OSCs) and Regional emergency responders, EPA Drinking Water Program Staff, EPA Criminal Investigation Division agents, State Primacy Drinking Water Agencies, and Water Utility Personnel. The course provides information on the types of contaminants that may be used to intentionally contaminate water, and simplifies the application of the threat management process in EPA's Response Protocol Toolbox: Planning for and Responding To Drinking Water Contamination Threats and Incidents (http://www.epa.gov/safewater/security). For your convenience, we have provided two options for viewing the training. Their content is identical and they differ only in how the material is viewed.

Viewing the Training with Audio
  To view and listen to the training materials, you must have the Macromedia Flash plug-in installed for your browser. Most browsers will already have this plug-in. If you do not, or would like to upgrade to the most recent version, you can do so on Macromedia's website. Please note that you do not have to advance the slides in parts 1 through 9. This will be done for you automatically until you reach Part 10, when you should proceed at your own pace. Use the navigation links above the slide to move to the next section or to return to this page.

Please note that if you advance quickly through several slides, you may experience sluggishness which will resolve itself after a few slides.
