The Water System Risk Analysis is a comprehensive look at the risks to our water system. It is being done to comply with the American Water Infrastructure Act of 2018. It will result in a new emergency response plan for our water system. Cary's Fire Department has a technical rescue training program that we coordinate with Morrisville and Apex, NC. We train on all disciplines of technical rescue. Cary's key emergency response departments have formal after- action meetings to learn from what went well and seek opportunities to improve. This occurs after each event, so is ongoing in nature.
