Cyanotoxins Preparedness and Response Toolkit (CPRT)

The Cyanotoxins Preparedness and Response Toolkit (CPRT) is an online tool to help states and Tribes prepare for potential HABs in freshwater bodies and know how to respond to protect public health. The CPRT follows the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s National Response Framework (NRF), a consistent nationwide framework built on the Department of Homeland Security’s National Incident Management System (NIMS). As such, the CPRT includes the essential components to prevent and respond to cyanotoxins events in drinking and recreational waters, and to update and improve preparedness and response for future cyanotoxin events.
