Risk and Resilience Vulnerability Assessment Program

Five Year RRA and ERP Review Required For Utilities Serving Over 3300

Community water systems serving more than 3,300 people are required under the America’s Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) to review their Risk and Resilience Assessment (RRA) and Emergency Response Plan (ERP) at least once every five years.

Utilities must review their RRA to determine whether revisions are needed and submit a certification to EPA confirming the review (and any updates). After completing the RRA review, systems must also review and, if necessary, revise their ERP to reflect any changes. The ERP certification is due within six months of the RRA certification. Only certifications are submitted to EPA—not the actual plans.

These reviews are especially important for Florida systems facing risks from hurricanes, flooding, and other emergencies.
