The Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities (IAMU) takes the cyber and physical security of its members seriously. IAMU wants to make sure all members have access to the most current information and tools to ensure they can provide their customers with the safe, reliable utilities that they need and deserve.

The page includes links to:

• Physical security resources
• Cybersecurity resources
• Emergency planning resources
• Free online, self-paced emergency training sessions from FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute, Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team. Note: You’ll need to register for IDs to access these training sessions.
• Security videos

You’ll also find a news feed from the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team for timely information about current security issues, vulnerabilities, and exploits.
