Will Your ERP Fully Aligned With Your RRA Before the 2026 Certification Deadline?
Utilities nationwide are preparing to certify their Emergency Response Plans under the June 30, 2026 AWIA deadline. Many discover their ERP documentation does not fully reflect risks identified in their RRA. Direnzic conducts an independent alignment review before submission.
No obligation. You determine if the review is right for your organization.
Utilities that completed their RRA in 2025 are ideal candidates for this review.
RRA–ERP Compliance Review & Alignment™
WHAT IT IS
A focused consulting engagement designed to ensure your Emergency Response Plan (ERP) accurately reflects the risks identified in your Risk & Resilience Assessment (RRA).
Direnzic, trusted by public agencies & critical infrastructure organizations, conducts an independent documentation alignment review to identify gaps between RRA findings and ERP procedures prior to the June 30, 2026 certification deadline.
The review strengthens the defensibility of your ERP documentation and confirms that cybersecurity and operational risks identified in the RRA are properly reflected in your emergency response procedures.
WHY IT MATTERS
Under the America’s Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA), utilities must complete a Risk & Resilience Assessment (RRA) and certify that their Emergency Response Plan (ERP) reflects those findings.
Many utilities completed their RRA but discover during ERP preparation that key risks were not fully translated into ERP documentation.
Common causes include:
• RRA and ERP work performed by different teams
• ERP updates developed under accelerated compliance timelines
• Cybersecurity risks not fully integrated into ERP procedures
The RRA–ERP Compliance Review identifies these documentation gaps before certification so they can be addressed prior to submission.
What's Included
Each engagement includes a structured review designed to evaluate documentation alignment.
Delivered as an executive-ready report package including a mapping matrix, risk heat map, and defensibility memo suitable for leadership review.

How Our Process Works
Assess Your ERP Readiness
Direnzic will briefly review your RRA completion timeline and ERP preparation approach to determine whether an independent documentation alignment review may be beneficial prior to certification.
Many utilities discover gaps during this conversation that would otherwise surface during certification review.
ACTIVATE THE ENGAGEMENT
Following our discussion, Direnzic will determine whether your utility is an appropriate candidate for the RRA–ERP Compliance Review & Alignment™ engagement.
If selected, you will receive a formal engagement agreement and project outline within 24 hours outlining scope, timeline, and next steps.
Due to the June 30, 2026 certification deadline and the limited number of reviews we conduct at one time, organizations are encouraged to confirm participation promptly.
Early engagement provides utilities the greatest flexibility to address documentation alignment gaps before certification deadlines approach.
SUBMIT YOUR DOCUMENTATION
Once the engagement agreement is executed and the $18,500 investment is confirmed, Direnzic will provide secure instructions for submitting your current Risk & Resilience Assessment (RRA) and Emergency Response Plan (ERP) documentation.
Upon receipt, Direnzic begins the structured alignment review to evaluate whether ERP procedures accurately reflect the risks documented in your RRA.
This analysis forms the foundation of the RRA–ERP Compliance Review & Alignment™ and enables Direnzic to identify documentation gaps prior to certification.
