“WATER FOR URBAN AREAS: MANAGING RISKS AND BUILDING RESILIENCY”
GRACE ChAN ~ CONFERENCE ChAIR

SOUThERN CALIFORNIA ~ LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
Greetings!
I am so pleased to welcome you to the AWRA’s 2015 Spring Specialty Conference “Water for Urban
Areas: Managing Risks and Building Resiliency,” scheduled this week at the Los Angeles Airport Hilton.
Urban water suppliers have unique challenges associated with fluctuations in economy and population growth; changing climate, water supply, and quality conditions; aging infrastructures; and increasing
costs and regulatory requirements. In response, many urban water suppliers are studying in greater
detail traditional and nontraditional water management strategies and approaches to manage the increasing risks and incorporation of
long-term resiliency within their system.
Our keynote and luncheon speakers are leaders on the conference theme. Ms. Pat Mulroy will be the conference keynote speaker. Ms. Mulroy is a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institute at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She also served as the General
Manager of Southern Nevada Water Authority from 1993 until February 2014. During her service at SNWA, she led the agency through
a period of tremendous growth and long drought period diminishing the cities’ primary water supply from the Colorado River. Our luncheon speaker will be Dr. Jay Famiglietti, Senior Water Scientist at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Professor on Earth System
Science at the University of California, Irvine. Dr. Famiglietti will be speaking about California’s current epic drought and the state’s water
availability as viewed from space.
During the conference, you will be able to choose from over 60 presentations on topics related to water and wastewater services
nationwide and internationally. Topics will cover:
•
•
•
•
•
Approaches and tools to identify and explicitly address uncertainties and risks.
Connection with other disciplines such as food security, land use, energy, and culture.
Increasing adaptive capacity via demand management, traditional and nontraditional supply augmentation, infrastructure
management and operations, and new technology.
Water law and policy.
Communicating the value of water.
You will also find this conference to be a wonderful opportunity to meet your colleagues in water and wastewater services during
informal networking events, in the exhibit hall, and throughout the professional sessions.
I encourage you to look through the program and attend the sessions and events that will provide you with updated information
that you can take back to your agencies and organizations. I also look forward to meeting you during the conference!
Professional DeveloPment Hours (PDHs)
AWRA has instituted a self-reporting system for Professional Development Hours (PDHs). To meet education requirements for license
renewal, conference attendees should report their session attendance directly to their licensing organizations. AWRA will provide at
its registration desk, self-reporting forms that can be used to acquire signatures of session moderators. Please note that self-reporting is an honor system. It places the onus on the individual to report PDHs to their licensing body. The AWRA forms are furnished as
a convenience to conference attendees.
tHe following Caveats aPPly to tHis PDH PoliCy
(1) awra will not notify the licensing organizations concerning earned PDHs. this will be up to the attendee.
(2) awra will not keep session records or enter PDHs in its record keeping system.
(3) most importantly, awra cannot guarantee acceptance of the PDHs by licensing boards.
Because self-reporting reduces awra administrative costs, awra will not charge a fee for those wishing to obtain PDHs.

assessing Climate risKs anD imPlementing aDaPtation at large utilities Case stuDies witH ePa's Climate resilienCe evaluation anD awareness tool
Drinking water and wastewater utilities face many challenges due to changes in climate and resulting impacts on water resources.
EPA's Climate Ready Water Utilities (CRWU) provides resources to help the water sector adapt to climate change impacts by promoting a clear understanding of climate science and adaptation options. Among its suite of tools, the Climate Resilience Evaluation and
Awareness Tool (CREAT) provides local climate projection data within a risk assessment framework to help utilities assess climate
impacts and consider adaptation measures to increase utility resilience. Both the initial development of CREAT, as well as subsequent
versions, were guided by a Working Group composed of water utilities, associations, and federal partners. Among its early adopters,
East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) in Oakland, California, and Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) in Las Vegas, Nevada,
have used CREAT to conduct climate assessments. EBMUD has been involved with the development and testing of CREAT since the
first version of the tool was released in 2010 to help quantify and communicate the risk of climate change on its operations. Using 2060
temperature, sea level rise and precipitation projections, a climate change risk assessment was performed that highlighted the impacts
to water demand, customer rationing, flood control, and water supply, with changes in precipitation posing the greatest risk. Information
from the analysis was used in the development of EBMUD's Climate Change Monitoring and Response Plan that summarized the
impacts and identified adaptation and mitigation strategies including the use of supplemental water supplies, increased conservation and
water recycling, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Like EBMUD, SNWA tested the early versions of CREAT and provided feedback on improvements. Most recently, SNWA collaborated with the USEPA to pilot CREAT Version 2.0 to produce a climate change risk assessment. SNWA participants considered impacts
across three potential climate scenarios, based on the projections provided within CREAT. Assessments considered both short and long
term impacts, using climate projections for two future time periods (2035 and 2060). Situated in the desert, SNWA has historically been
most vulnerable to persistent drought in the Colorado River basin, which provides 90 percent of their supply. SNWA withdraws this water
from Lake Mead. The risk assessment process found that without adaptive action, future warming would likely worsen drought conditions, and lead to low Lake Mead levels that could trigger a reduction in supplies, but also create major operational challenges with
SNWA's intake systems, water treatment systems, and distribution system. The SNWA team developed a number of planned actions
including Colorado River system-wide conservation, construction of a third intake pump station, and addition of aerators in covered
reservoirs in the distribution system to address the impacts associated with worsening drought. These measures will reduce the risk to
supplies and infrastructure presented by low reservoir levels, and make SNWA "climate ready." EBMUD and SNWA are currently participating in the CREAT 3.0 Working Group, helping to guide the development of the next version of CREAT (planned for release Summer
2015).

Water is the lifeline of American prosperity. It keeps our communities healthy, our cities running, and our economies growing. One-fifth
of the U.S. economy would grind to a halt without a reliable and clean supply of water. After working around the clock for more than a
century, these systems are aging and failing. Yet, our nation’s water infrastructure is largely out of sight, and out of mind for most
Americans. This session will feature leaders from the public and private sector discussing local and national efforts to elevate the importance of water infrastructure in America.

FIRE EMERGENCY INFORMATION ~ PREPAREDNESS IN hOTELS
Plan aHeaD – When you check into your room, check the location of exits. Walk to the nearest exit, learn the route, obstacles,
etc. Keep your room key on the night stand when you are in your room. Examine your room. Check the windows to see if they open
and how. Examine the area outside your window.
in Case of a fire ... evaCuation ProCeDures – Immediately investigate all odors, smoke, and/or disturbances. If you smell
smoke, grab your key, roll out of bed, and crawl to the door. Feel the door. If the door facing or knob is hot, don’t open it. If the hall
is clear of fire, crawl toward the exit after closing your door. Stay against the exit side of the wall. Keep as close to the floor as possible. When you reach the exit, walk down the stairs holding the handrail.
survival teCHniQues in tHe room – If the door is warm or hot, or if the hallway is filled with smoke, you can still defend yourself effectively in your room. Call the front desk to report the fire and let someone know your location. Vent the room. Use the bathroom vent fan or open the window if there is smoke in your room. Don’t open the window if there is smoke outside. Fill the bathtub
with water for firefighting. Don’t get in the tub! Use wet sheets or towels to stuff the cracks around the door. use the ice bucket to
drench the walls, mattresses, rugs, drapes, etc. While waiting to be rescued, do not hide from the fire. Stay out of closets and out
from under the bed. Keep fighting until help arrives. Place a towel, sheet, or other items in the window to let firemen know that someone is in the room.
otHer tiPs – JumPing ... If you jump from higher than the third floor, chances are you won’t survive the fall. elevators ... Never
enter an elevator during a fire alert. Don’t Panic ... It is contagious and almost irreversible once it sets in. If you understand what is
happening, what to do, where to go and how to get there, you are unlikely to panic.
