Mailing List
This mailing list is comprised of key contacts at state, tribal, and territory regulatory agencies, and U.S. EPA that we use to distribute course and nomination announcements. Invitations to attend PREP Network courses are only sent to agencies that have a cooperative agreement with EPA. The individuals noted in the PREP mailing list are responsible for forwarding PREP notifications to their personnel.
It is the responsibility of each agency to notify PREPNetwork@colostate.edu with changes.
