  2. Overview • Water Sector Infrastructures • Utility Resources • Federal Support - NRF • Interdependent Sectors

  3. Public Water System (PWS) • Source • Treatment Works • Storage • Distribution Systems • SCADA-Communications

  4. Public Water System • Inventory – (Highly Impacted Counties) Systems (facilities)Population • AL: 200 (2,144) 1,578,367 • KY: 118 (689) 542,886 • MS: 320 (1,532) 628,742 • TN: 179 (1,463) 1,193,940 • R4: 817 (5,828) 3,946,258

  5. Public Water System • Source (Highly Impacted Counties) • AL – 40% Groundwater (413 Wells) • KY – 42% Groundwater (154 Wells) • MS – 99% Groundwater (621 Wells) • TN – 97% Groundwater (532 Wells)

  6. Public Water System • Treatment Plants • AL: 59 Surface Water • KY: 45 Surface Water • MS: 2 Surface Water • TN: 4 Surface Water • R4: 110 Surface Water

  7. Public Water System • Distribution System Miles Repairs (leak/break) • AL: 124,800 752 • KY: 120,800 11,406 • MS: 106,200 10,735 • TN: 117,400 39,309 • R4: 469,200 62,170

  8. Wastewater Facilities • Collection Systems • Pumping Facilities • Treatment Works

  9. Wastewater Facilities • Collection System Miles Repairs (leak/break) • AL: 74,900 595 • KY: 61,600 9,022 • MS: 63,700 8,490 • TN: 70,500 31,089 • R4: 270,700 49,196 76 highest impacted counties Mid-America Earthquake Center

  10. Utility – Resources • In-House • Mutual-Aid (e.g. – Rural Water, WARN – Water/Wastewater Agency Response Networks) • Local/County EMA • State EMA • Other – through State • Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) • Federal Resources

  11. State • EOC EMAC & WARN • Resource Typing • Operations Plan • Exercises • State • EOC WARN MAA • WARN • MAA • Partners • Partners • Assoc. • Utilities • Utilities • Assoc. State “A” State “B”

  12. Process for Federal Assistance… • State Requests Assistance from FEMA • FEMA Analyzes Request, and if Approved: • FEMA Assigns Responsibility of Leadership for the Request to Appropriate Federal Agency (i.e. – Mission Assignment) • Assigned Agency Responsible for Execution of Mission to Meet State/Tribal Request – either directly or by sub-tasking a support agency

  13. ESF-1 Transportation ESF-2 Communications ESF-3 Public Works/Engr. ESF-4 Firefighting ESF-5 Emergency Mgt. ESF-6 Mass Care/Housing ESF-7 Resource Support ESF-8 Public Health & Med. ESF-9 Urban SAR ESF-10 Oil & Hazardous Materials ESF-11 Agriculture & Natural Resources ESF-12 Energy ESF-13 Public Safety ESF-14 Long Term Recovery ESF-15 External Affairs NRF ESF’s – Water Sector

  14. ESF-3 Public Works and Engineering Annex • USACE Lead Agency • EPA Support Agency: • Conduct infrastructure protection activities • Determining the suitability for human consumption • Identify critical water and wastewater needs, including personnel, electrical power, and treatment chemicals • Determine the operating status of water and wastewater systems. • Investigate contamination incidents • Coordinate Water Sector issues with other ESF’s

  15. ESF-3: USACE & EPA Coordination • HQ Agreement Between Agencies • USACE/EPA Field-Level Coordination • Pre-Scripted Mission Assignments @ Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) • ESF-3 Field Manual • EPA and USACE Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

  16. ESF-3: “Typical” Missions • Federal Support (FOS) • Coordination & Situational Awareness • State/Tribal Support (TA) • Technical Assistance  People • Utilities (via State) (DFA) – Limited • Emergency Power • Treatment Chemicals & Supplies • Temporary Storage • Emergency Repair
