Pennsylvania has always been at the forefront of innovation and industry so it should come as no surprise that the state is at the very epicenter of the rise in Automated Vehicles (AVs). What started with Carnegie Mellon University doing on-road testing a decade ago has expanded to eight authorized AV developers, one teleoperations developer, and a single personal delivery device. Based on information provided by these companies, testing is expected to occur in 56 of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties. Join representatives of PennDOT as they share information about the current status of AV testing in Pennsylvania and what townships should know so that they and their residents can be better prepared for AVs.

This class will review the top 10 challenges facing volunteer fire departments and identify the responsibilities of the township when it comes to volunteer fire companies. Methods for assessing community expectations will also be discussed. Participants will be provided “show and apply” methods to conduct a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis of their current fire service operations and how to develop a standard of response based on public expectations.

This full-day class is designed for everyone responsible for your municipality’s emergency management program, including elected officials, municipal managers, road crew/public works personnel, and, most importantly, local emergency management coordinators (EMCs).

With seemingly more frequent, severe storm events occurring, public works departments are busy with culvert and bridge repairs and replacements and stream maintenance activities. These activities may be regulated by the state or federal government. This webinar, presented by Beth Uhler, Project Manager at CEDARVILLE Engineering Group, will review what types of maintenance activities are allowable in streams, when to seek engineering assistance, and when a permit may be required.
