The Emergency Preparedness and Security Committee (EPSC) is a joint committee between Virginia Section AWWA and VWEA. The committee’s goal is to bring together Virginia’s water and wastewater professionals who have an interest in utility resiliency to share best practices, communicate resiliency-related regulatory change, and strengthen emergency preparedness and security awareness.  In addition to supporting utilities to improve resiliency, EPSC is charged with encouraging participation in and providing a governance structure for Virginia’s Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network (WARN), a utility-centered mutual aid organization.
