This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 9/11 attacks have drawn attention to the security of many institutions, facilities, and systems in the U.S., incl. the nation¿s water supply and water quality infrastructure. These systems have long been recognized as being potentially vulnerable to terrorist attacks of various types, including physical disruption, bioterrorism/chem. contamination, and cyber attack. Damage or destruction by terrorist attack could disrupt the delivery of vital human services in this country, threatening public health and the environment, or possibly causing loss of life. This report presents an overview of this large and diverse sector, describes security-related actions by the government and private sector since 9/11, and discusses additional policy issues and responses.

This book was released on 2007-07-15 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concern over terrorist attacks since 2001 has directed attention to potential vulnerabilities of the nation's water and wastewater systems. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which leads federal efforts to protect the water sector, initiated a research program in 2002 to address immediate research and technical support needs. This report, conducted at EPA's request, evaluates research progress and provides a long-term vision for EPA's research program. The report recommends that EPA develop a strategic research plan, address gaps in expertise among EPA program managers and researchers, and improve its approaches to information dissemination. The report recommends several high-priority research topics for EPA, including conducting empirical research in behavioral science to better understand how to prepare people for water security incidents.

This book was released on 2007-02-16 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thoughtful book provides a much-needed look at the vulnerabilities and security of our nation's water sources. Written as a result of 9/11 and in response to the critical needs of water/wastewater plant managers, plant engineers, design engineers, and utility managers, it addresses the need to incorporate security upgrades in existing facility systems and careful planning in all new construction sites. Each chapter provides professional guidance on designing, operating, maintaining, and mitigating threats to water/wastewater systems, including both treatment/distribution and treatment/collection systems, to ensure state-of-the-art security. The author covers all aspects of monitoring, response, critical infrastructure redundancy, and recovery and provides other strategic information, including methodologies for vulnerability assessments, specialized remote monitoring equipment, and U.S. EPA's security toolbox items. No matter what your background, if you are responsible for protecting a water source, your facility stands to gain from the principles described in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Damage to or destruction of the nation's water supply and water quality infrastructure by a terrorist attack could disrupt the delivery of vital human services in this country, threaten public health, and even cause loss of life. Across the country, water infrastructure systems extend over vast areas, and ownership and operational responsibility are both public and private but are overwhelmingly nonfederal. Since the 9/11 attacks, federal dam operators and water and wastewater utilities have been under heightened security. However, there still are no federal standards or agreed-upon industry best practices within the water infrastructure sector to govern readiness, response, and recovery. This report presents an overview of this large and diverse sector, describes security-related actions taken by the government and the private sector since September 11th, and discusses additional policy issues and responses, including congressional concerns. Policy makers are considering a number of initiatives, including enhanced physical security, better communication and coordination, and research. A key issue is how additional protections and resources directed at public and private sector priorities will be funded. In response, since FY2002 Congress has provided $740 million in appropriations for security at water infrastructure facilities and passed a bill requiring drinking water utilities to conduct security vulnerability assessments (P.L. 107-188). When Congress created the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2002 (P.L. 107-297), it gave DHS responsibilities to coordinate information to secure the nation's critical infrastructure, including the water sector. Under Homeland Security Presidential Directive-7, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the lead federal agency for protecting drinking water and wastewater utility systems.

Download or read book Securing Potable Water Following a Disaster written by Velva Boles and published by . This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For homeland security as well as the well-being of its citizens, America must be proactive in establishing a means to rapidly procure safe potable water in the event of a natural disaster or terrorist attack. Because drinking water is consumed directly, health effects associated with contamination have long been a major concern of Homeland Security officials. Interruption or cessation of the drinking water supply will disrupt society, compromise individual citizens and prevent critical activities such as fire protection which can have significant consequences to national and regional economies. Currently in the wake of a disaster, potable water is distributed to communities in plastic bottles by trucks. This process is limited when transportation infrastructure is damaged, submerged under water, obstructed by debris, electric lines or fallen trees; since current methods rely on functional transportation networks to move bottled or bulk water. Consumers are highly sensitive to the threat of contamination and/or disruption of America's water supply. Federal and State governments have long been active in addressing risks and threats to the nation's water supply through regulations, technical assistance, research, and outreach programs. As a result, an extensive system of regulations governing maximum contaminants levels, emergency response planning, training, research, and education have been developed to better protect the nation's drinking water supply. During the 20th century, floods were the number one natural disaster in the United States in terms of the number of lives lost and properties damaged; although flood mitigation and prediction is advanced, floods do $6 billion worth of damage. Hurricane Katrina emerged over water in the Southeastern Gulf of Mexico near the Florida Key. It became the fourth most powerful hurricane in American history. Hurricane Sandy was the eighteenth named storm and tenth hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season. In the United States. Damage in the US is estimated at over $63 billion which would make it the second-costliest Atlantic hurricane since Hurricane Katrina.
