Safe & reliable drinking water (DW) is vital to every community. Emergency response planning is an essential part of managing a DW system. Routine emergencies are manageable if the water system has an emergency response plan that can be put into action quickly. More serious non-routine emergencies may result from intentional acts of sabotage, chemical spills, floods, earthquakes, windstorms, or drought, which can drastically affect the system. This comprehensive guide for emergency response planning has been prepared by the Wash. State Dept. of Health. It includes a planning template that will help all public water systems develop an emergency response plan, which is an essential part of managing a DW system.
