EPA 2026 National Cyber Drill Informational Session

United States

In preparation for U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 2026 National Cyber Drill on July 8th, EPA is hosting an informational session for drinking water and wastewater utilities.

This 1-hour informational session is designed for utilities interested in participating in the 2026 drill, with a focus on testing the transition to manual operations and operating in a degraded state before or during the drill. The session will provide practical guidance. Subject matter experts will be available to answer questions and offer support on planning and executing manual operations testing.
