9 Various scenarios were assumed, such as destruction or impairment of the Water infrastructure by a powerful earthquake and contamination events requiring alternate supplies of Drinking Water . The term Emergency Water Supply will be used instead of the equivalent terms alternative Water Supply /sources throughout this report. Based on the severity of an incident, all levels of government (local, state and federal), as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs), like the Red Cross, may become involved. The workshops identified the importance of the development of an Emergency Drinking Water plan by a local Water utility, even though, during the actual Emergency , other entities ( , State National Guard) may be tasked with implementing that plan. The Water utility could use this report to assist in developing its plan, , to assemble a group consisting of the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), NGOs, and state officials to determine appropriate roles and to write a plan for their community.

10 The EPA strongly encourages utilities to regularly review and update their vulnerability assessments and Emergency response plans. The Emergency Drinking Water Planning could be viewed as a component of the Emergency response plan updates done by the Water utility. Note: This document addresses the Supply of Drinking Water after a disaster. While hygiene and sanitation issues are not addressed herein, they are public health priorities and should be included in Emergency Planning . 1. Planning for Emergency Drinking Water Supply 1. Purpose Provision of Emergency Water Supply involves collaboration and partnership between various levels of government. Although this document is not guidance as to how to comply with any particular law, the following is a helpful review of the roles and responsibilities among various levels of government regarding Emergency Water supplies. Relevant federal legislative language pertaining to each level (federal, state, and local) is cited herein.
