WATER AFTER
AN EARTHQUAKE
OR OTHER DISASTER
Widespread infrastructure damage is expected following a major
earthquake. This will possibly include damage to regional water transmission
and storage facilities, distribution pipelines, storage, and firefighting facilities
in San Francisco, as well as pipes in homes and businesses.
Our top responsibility post-earthquake is: To assess, repair and restore
our water delivery system. By focusing our efforts on restoring these systems,
we can ensure long-term reliable water delivery for our regional and local needs.
We will be working with other SF city departments, state and federal
agencies to address public life and safety needs, such as delivery of
potable water.
