ECA kicks off a Winter Webinar Series with our first webinar happening today at 3:30 pm EST titled "Creating Emergency Response Planning for Nuclear Storage Projects"
Advanced nuclear projects are moving toward construction, and local governments play a frontline role in ensuring that emergency preparedness and management systems keep pace with development. City and county officials oversee first responders, coordinate public safety communications, and maintain the trust of residents
who live and work near project sites.
This webinar will highlight how mayors, emergency managers, and developers collaborate to build readiness from day one—through joint planning, drills, and transparent communication. Participants will gain insight into best practices for integrating project-specific safety requirements into local emergency operations and for sustaining preparedness over the full lifecycle of a
nuclear facility.
Speakers will include:
Moderator: Laura Hermann - Deputy Executive Director, Energy Communities Alliance
Chief Mike Cochran - Police Chief, City of Craig, Colorado
Lea Perlas -
Fusion Program Director, Virginia Department of Health
Randall Ryti - Councilor, Los Alamos County, New Mexico
Brian Scroggins - Administrator of the Division of Planning, Nevada Agency for Nuclear Projects
