Water Sector Security and Preparedness
There is little doubt that 2012 made a strong case for applying an all‐hazards framework to the water sector. In November, Superstorm Sandy marked the 11th disaster during 2012 that exceeded $1 billion in damages (according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center); 2012 followed a record 14 events in 2011 exceeding $1 billion in damages. A great many of these events affected drinking water and wastewater operations, the most common being flooding and power failures.
