The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has many resources available on their website for water utilities. One that we found recently was their “Incident Action Checklists for Water Utilities”. These checklists help utilities prepare for and coordinate during natural and manmade disasters. Though the EPA has provided many checklists for a variety of different situations the following are ones that we believe are most useful to Utilities in Alaska:

• Wildfire Incident Action Checklist (pdf)
• Pandemic Incident Action Checklist (pdf)
• Power Outage Incident Action Checklist (pdf)
• Harmful Algal Bloom Incident Action Checklist (pdf)
• Extreme Cold and Winter Storms Incident Action Checklist (pdf)
• Earthquake Incident Action Checklist (pdf)
• Flooding Incident Action Checklist (pdf)
