ITEM NO. 4.1 AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: January 26, 2015 To:Board of Directors Presented By:Marc Marcantonio, General Manager Prepared By:Damon Micalizzi, Public Information Manager Subject:Critical Infrastructure - Planning for Emergency and Disaster Situations SUMMARY: Most critical emergency services and functions rely on water services to operate. For example, firefighting capabilities would be jeopardized if water were unavailable. Similarly, the drinking water and waste-water infrastructure relies on a number of emergency services to ensure that water infrastructure is secure in the face of natural disasters and man made threats. Water and Emergency Services have been designated as Critical Infrastructure/Key Resources (CIKR) sectors by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). As such, the protection and security of water and emergency services infrastructure is a national priority. Recognizing the infrastructure interdependencies between the Emergency Services Sector (ESS) and Water Providers, and accounting for them in emergency planning at the local, state, and national levels, are critical to maintaining Public Heath, mitigating the negative impacts of water service interruptions, or interruptions in emergency operations.
