This article discusses a report recently released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) called, “Planning for an Emergency Drinking Water Supply” (USEPA, 2011). This resource not only addresses practical considerations for local planning but also discusses the roles and responsibilities among various levels of government regarding emergency water supplies. The report covers technical planning elements and presents key findings that can improve postdisaster responsiveness in relation to emergency water supplies. The principal findings outlined in the report are the basis for this article.
