A single sheet listing eight items that should be completed in order to ensure that your drinking water or wastewater utility is prepared for an emergency.

The attractive layout makes it ideal to use in these ways:

  • Make multiple copies and hand them out at a meeting of your utility's board or governing body.
  • Post on a bulletin board in your plant or other facilities.
  • Laminate and hang it from an overhead pipe in your facilities so staff see it often.
  • Place it in a prominent spot where staff and board members can see it.
