Post-conference Workshop at
National Education Center for Agricultural Safety:
We will travel about 12 miles to the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety (NECAS) (8342 NICC Drive, Peosta, Iowa) for the Emergency Preparedness Workshop.

We thank the fine folks at the Great Plains Center for Agricultural Health for conducting this workshop and to NECAS for hosting it.
Getting Here:
Driving:
Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa all come together very near Dubuque. While it is easy to reach via major highways 3, 20, 52 and 61, the hills and river make for some more complicated turns and ramps in the downtown area.
Flying:
The Eastern Iowa Airport (CID) is located in Cedar Rapids, just under 90 minutes southwest of Dubuque.
The Dubuque Regional Airport (DBQ) is the closest airport though it is served only by Avelo Airlines.
The Waterloo Regional Airport (ALO) is about 90 minutes west of Dubuque and is served by American Airlines.
