Overview

     Local governments face logistical hurdles when strategically placing off-the-grid water technologies. Long-past are the days of hand-drawn drinking water, and bucket brigades to put out isolated home fires. High-population densities today present special concerns for both fire protection and drinking water availability.

     Emergency water consulting services can provide vital assistance from a logistics standpoint to ensure your local government is better prepared to manage water needs in a major natural disaster.

     For example, a catastrophic earthquake will break large and small water pipelines and gas lines, resulting in both dispersed fires and loss of water distribution. Major pipeline repair can take days, weeks, or months depending on available resources, and waiting for fire helicopters to arrive with water can strain existing resources.
