Water utilities have a legal responsibility to provide an adequate supply of safe, high-
quality drinking water to their customers. Disruptions in water quality and delivery can
result from emergencies such as natural disasters, accidents, or intentional acts. Regardless
of their size and location, utilities should prepare for emergencies before they occur and
be able to quickly restore water services. This manual presents principles, practices, and
guidelines for water utility emergency planning. The approach suggested in this manual is
to apply knowledge of and experience with a specific system, determine vulnerable
components of the system, and either improve the deficiency or plan an alternate strategy.
