Abstract

ABSTRACT Water safety plans address both routine operations and incident responses to support risk management in drinking water utilities. Their use and relevance in facing the challenges of the Covid-19 crisis were investigated via a survey distributed to water utilities and health or environmental agencies across the globe. Responses from 86 respondents from 38 countries were analysed to identify the water safety challenges faced and responses. Water safety plans appear to provide some preparedness and organizational advantages to utilities in facing the Covid-19 crisis, including stronger communication links between utilities and governing agencies. Guidance for future water safety planning is provided.
新冠肺炎大流行初期的水安全管理:挑战、应对措施和指导
水安全计划涉及日常操作和事件响应,以支持饮用水公用事业的风险管理。通过向全球水务公司和卫生或环境机构分发的一份调查,调查了它们在应对Covid-19危机挑战中的使用和相关性。我们分析了来自38个国家的86名受访者的回复,以确定面临的水安全挑战和应对措施。水安全计划似乎为公用事业公司应对Covid-19危机提供了一些准备和组织优势,包括公用事业公司和管理机构之间更强的沟通联系。为今后的水安全规划提供指导。
