Emergency Water Supply Planning Guide for Hospitals and Health Care Facilities (CDC / EPA / AWWA)
During water system interruptions, the operation of health care facilities is severely interrupted and capability can be almost completely degraded within two hours. In order to maintain daily operations and patient care services, health care facilities need to develop a water supply plan in advance of an emergency. Several types of events such as a natural disaster, a failure of the community water system, construction damage, or even an act of terrorism can cause water supply interruption.
