St. Anthony 2040 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 8: Water Supply <br />165 <br /> <br />EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PROCEDURES <br />Water emergencies can occur as a result of vandalism, sabotage, <br />accidental contamination, mechanical problems, power failures, drought, <br />flooding, and other natural disasters. The purpose of emergency planning <br />is to develop emergency response procedures and to identify actions <br />needed to improve emergency preparedness. In the case of a municipality, <br />these procedures should be in support of, and part of, an all-hazard <br />emergency operations plan. <br />Federal Emergency Response Plan <br />Section 1433(b) of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended by the Public <br />Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 <br />(Public Law 107-188, Title IV – Drinking Water Security and Safety), <br />requires community water suppliers serving over 3,300 people to prepare <br />an Emergency Response Plan. <br />The City of St. Anthony has a Federal Emergency Response Plan that was <br />certified on August 2, 2004.
