What Will I Learn?

  • Prevent cascading challenges by identifying and mitigating specific risks.
  • Unique safety risks such as toxic smoke, fire eruptions from landfill infrastructure, and the risks posed by heavy equipment operating near emergency personnel.
  • Fostering dialogue between a landfill or facility staff and emergency services to identify resource and knowledge gaps and ensure interoperability of communication systems.
  • Clarify roles and responsibilities by establishing a unified command during incidents and detailed site maps, emergency contacts, and vendor information to streamline response efforts.
  • Availability and importance of supplemental training sessions.
  • Availability of insurance impacts.

Who Should Attend? The topic is of interest to a broad cross-section of stakeholders. Because solid waste and landfill fires can escalate rapidly and carry environmental risks, anyone involved in daily facility operations, regional environmental oversight, or local emergency response should attend. SCS also gets questions from state and local agencies, who may also be interested in attending.

Ken supports the activities of the Dubuque Metropolitan Area Solid Waste Agency’s Board of Directors, leads long-range planning and public engagement, develops new initiatives, manages projects, and ensures environmental compliance.
