Abstract

The document is organized into five sections: Section I provides background and context information. Section II lists hazards and consequences for drinking water and wastewater utilities to consider. Section III provides a checklist of actions utilities can undertake to improve their preparedness, response, and recovery for all hazards and consequences. Section IV is a set of consequence-specific checklists that highlight key preparedness, response, and recovery actions for seven specific consequences of particular concern to utilities. Section V is an example scenario that shows how hazards and consequences relate and illustrates how coordination with community emergency response organizations and other preparedness and response and recovery planning can improve a utility's responses and make it more resilient.
