The AWWA Standards Program is designed to serve water, wastewater, and reuse utilitieshereafter, the water sectorand their customers,

23、owners, service providers, and government regulators. The standards developed under the program are generally intended to improve a utilitys overall operations and service. One aspect of the standards program is a specific effort to establish formal management and operations guidelines. These guidel

24、ines identify the appropriate practices, procedures, and behaviors whose implementation will provide effective and efficient utility operations and contribute to the protection of public health, public safety, and the environment. AWWAs standards process has been used for more than ninety years to p

25、roduce American National Standards Institute (ANSI)*-approved standards for materials and processes that are used by the water sector. These standards are recognized worldwide and have been adopted by many utilities and organizations. Volunteer standards com- mittees establish standard practices in

26、a uniform and appropriate format. Formal standards committees have been and continue to be formed to address the individual standard practices for the diverse areas of water sector operation. A formal standards committee was created in March 2005 to create a standard for Emergency Preparedness Pract

27、ices. This standard is the outcome of the Emergency Preparedness Practices Standards Committee. I.B. History. This is the first edition of this standard. It was approved by the AWWA Board of Directors on June 12, 2011. I.C. Acceptance. There is no applicable information for this section. II. Special

28、 Issues. II.A. Advisory Information on Application of Standards. This standard includes only those requirements that are limited exclusively to emergency preparedness practices for operation and management of drinking water, wastewater, or reuse systems. Separate standards adopted by the Standards p

34、 preparedness based on the identified and per- ceived risks facing utilities within the water sector. Sec. 1.2 Purpose The purpose of this standard is to define the minimum emergency prepared - ness requirements for water, wastewater, or reuse facilities to respond to emergen- cies and restore norma

35、l operations, minimizing the disruption of critical services while sustaining public health, protecting property, and maintaining consumer confidence. Sec. 1.3 Application This standard can be referenced to evaluate, develop, implement, and main- tain emergency preparedness practices. The stipulatio

36、ns of this standard apply when this document has been referenced and then only to the emergency prepared- ness practices of the utility. Copyright 2011 American Water Works Association.

SECTION 3: DEFINITIONS The following definitions shall apply in this standard: 1. All hazards: An approach for prevention, protection

39、, preparedness, response, and recovery that addresses a full range of present threats and haz- ards, including malevolent attacks; natural, technological, and human-caused hazards; and other emergencies. 2. Asset: An item of value or importance. In the context of critical water, wastewater, and reus

40、e infrastructure, an asset is something of importance or value that if targeted, exploited, destroyed, or incapacitated could result in injury, death, or economic damage to the owner of the asset or to the community it serves. 3. Consequences: The immediate, short- and long-term effects of a malevo-

41、 lent attack or natural, technological, or human-caused hazard. These effects include losses suffered by the owner of the asset and by the community served by that asset. 4. First responder: Those individuals who in the early stages of an incident are responsible for the protection and preservation

42、of life, property, evidence, and the environment, including emergency response providers as defined in Section 2 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 101), as well as emergency management, public health, clinical care, public works, and other skilled support personnel (such as equipment op

43、erators) that provide immediate support services during prevention, response, and recovery operations. 5. Hazard: Something that is potentially dangerous or harmful, often the root cause of an unwanted outcome. (See All Hazards.) 6. Incident: An occurrence or event (natural or human-caused) that req

44、uires a response to protect life, property, continued service, and customer Copyright 2011 American Water Works Association. All Rights Reserved. EmERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PRACTICES 3 confidence. Incidents can, for example, include major disasters, emergencies, terrorist attacks, terrorist threats, wil

45、dfires, floods, hazardous material spills, nuclear accidents, aircraft accidents, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tropical storms, war-related disasters, power outages, public health and medical emergencies, and other occur- rences requiring an emergency response. 7. Incident Command System (ICS

46、): A standardized, on-scene, all-hazards incident management concept that allows its users to adopt an integrated organiza- tional structure to match the complexities and demands of single or multiple incidents without being hindered by jurisdictional boundaries. ICS offers a scalable response to an

47、 emergency of any magnitude and provides a common framework within which responders from multiple agencies can work together. 8. National Incident Management System (NIMS): NIMS was developed by the US Department of Homeland Security (USDHS) in response to Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5

48、(HSPD-5), so responders from different jurisdic- tions and disciplines can work together to better respond to natural disasters and emergencies, including acts of terrorism. NIMS benefits include a unified approach to incident management; standard command and management structures; and emphasis on p

49、reparedness, mutual aid, and resources management. NIMS uses the Incident Command System (ICS), defined above. 9. National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP): The NIPP is a strategy developed by USDHS in response to Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7 (HSPD-7) that sets forth a comprehensive risk management framework and clearly defines critical infrastructure protection roles and responsibilities for the Depart- ment of Homeland Security; federal Sector-Specific Agencies (SSAs); and other federal, state, local, tribal, and private sector sec
