Roadmap to a Secure & Resilient Water Sector

Abstract

Water and wastewater infrastructure (Water Sector) protection is a shared responsibility. The Water Government Coordinating Council (WGCC) is chaired by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and made up of representatives from federal, regional, state, local, and tribal government programs. The Water Sector Coordinating Council (WSCC) members include municipal and investor owned water and wastewater utilities, associations, and regional organizations. Together, these coordinating councils form the public-private partnership through which security partners collaborate to plan and implement programs aimed at achieving a common vision. As illustrated in Figure 1.1, the number and scope of partners in responding to a catastrophic event can be significant. The figure includes local responders in the inner circle, with federal, state, and regional partners in the outer circle. To guide future efforts, the Water Sector has developed two roadmaps designed to align security partner efforts and ensure security needs are addressed in a timely and efficient manner.
