Natural Disaster Response Lessons Learned for Water and Wastewater Utilities
This is based on a report "Recovery Primer for Natural Disasters", which was commissioned under the Water Infrastructure Security Enhancement (WISE) initiative of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the Water Environment Federation (WEF). The project was funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The article largely draws on the discussions from a 2008 workshop of water utility managers who had experienced and responded to natural disasters that had imperiled their facilities and operations. These disasters included hurricanes, river flooding, wildfires, and earthquakes, among others. The workshop discussions were also supplemented by online research and phone conversations with other utility personnel who generously shared their experiences. The project report is downloadable from the websites of each of the three sponsoring organizations, including specifically ASCE's at (www.asce.org/files/pdf/wise/6.pdf). Included with the report are an appendix of other articles and publications of particular relevance to utilities for natural disaster response, and which are listed at the end of this article.
