Why Participate in the WLA? Utility Perspective Preparation Emergency Response Plan Resources

Some Challenges Competing Business Objectives  Resources  Time for training and preparation  Established Business Systems E.g., supply chain, EDDs Liability Sustainability Leadership

2009 Water Security Initiative Contamination Warning System

HR 3448 Public Health Security and Bio-terrorism Response Act of 2001 Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) – 9 directed EPA to …..“develop robust, comprehensive, and fully coordinated surveillance and monitoring systems for water quality that provides early detection and awareness of disease, pest, or poisonous agents……” (Jan 30, 2004) Water Security Initiative (WSi) Program (2005) 107TH CONGRESS 1ST SESSION H. R AN ACT To improve the ability of the United States to prevent, prepare for, and respond to bioterrorism and other public health emergencies. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled Water Security Overview
