- Best practices for maintaining operational continuity under degraded system conditions.
- Open Q&A with subject matter experts.
Virtual National Cyber Drill
When: July 8, 2026, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM ET
The drill is designed to test the ability of drinking water and wastewater utilities to maintain critical functions during a temporary loss of telecommunications and internet services.
What you'll do:
- Operate in a “disconnected” environment (limited/no SCADA remote access, cloud, email, Voice over IP, or other digital communications tools).
- Test preparedness by practicing manual operations at your system or joining a tabletop exercise.
Objectives:
- Assess your ability to sustain essential water/wastewater operations without telecom/internet.
- Exercise cyber incident response plans and manual workarounds.
- Identify gaps, resource needs, and resilience improvements.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs): will be provided in most states.
