In his column, AWWA Executive Director David LaFrance describes the March 2011 combined earthquake/tsunami/nuclear power plant radiation leak disaster in Japan as the new worst‐case scenario, which demonstrates the importance of utilities planning emergency response programs. LaFrance had recently returned from meeting with the Japan Water Works Association (JWWA) in Japan in February, and heard via email the day of the disaster that his JWWA colleagues were trying to communicate with and support the Japanese water supply utilities that suffered damages. He describes two AWWA‐sponsored programs created to unite the water industry in protecting public health: the Water/ Wastewater Agency Response Network (WARN), a voluntary mutual aid and assistance network of utilities that respond to emergencies in which other water/wastewater utilities have sustained damages; and, the ANSI/ ASME‐ITI/AWWA J100‐10 Risk Analysis and Management for Critical Asset Protection (RAMCAP#174) Standard for Risk and Resilience Management of Water and Wastewater Systems.
