The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Office of Groundwater and Drinking Water (OGWDW) partnered with USEPA/Region 5
and the Chicago Manufacturing Center's Great Lakes
Partnership Program on a pilot project in the Chicagoland
area. The pilot began with the Chicagoland Water and
Wastewater Preparedness and Business Resiliency Summit
held November 28, 2007, in Chicago, Illinois.
Chicago pilot supports homeland security efforts related to:
critical infrastructure protection; manufacturing continuity of operations and business
resiliency; preparedness, response, and recovery; and, communication and information sharing.
Communities need a variety of tools to enhance their
preparedness for water emergencies. The pilot will:
provide a methodology that communities can use to
protect their water infrastructure;
raise awareness in the private sector, where most
water preparedness assets are held; and,
offer a collaborative public-private path forward that can
be tailored to the individual needs of each community.
