How do disasters impact water quality?
Disasters indeed result in the deterioration of potable water and sewage systems. Therefore, water must be regarded as a fundamental element in the activities planned by the emergency committee. It is crucial to conduct a thorough vulnerability analysis to estimate the potential degree of impact on these systems in the face of a specific disaster. This proactive approach helps in preparing and mitigating potential damage to water supply and sanitation infrastructure, allowing for more effective emergency response and recovery efforts.
