Resource Typing: What is it and why is it Important to the Water Sector?
This article discusses water and wastewater agency response networks (WARNs), and the importance of mutual aid and assistance in all phases of a disaster, particularly during the initial response and recovery phase, before resources from other levels of government and the private sector can be mobilized. However, water and wastewater system personnel often find it difficult to clearly communicate their resource needs during or following an incident. The article discusses the importance of developing standard, or common, resource terminology, definitions, and resource types in order to optimize the opportunities for resource sharing in the event of a disaster. The benefits of resource typing are discussed, along with a current resource typing manual project being developed by AWWA and the consulting firm URS, supported by the Horsley Witten Group, for the benefit of the water sector mutual aid and assistance.
