Response Protocol Toolbox: Planning for and Responding to Drinking Water Contamination Threats and Incidents. Module 5: Public Health Response Guide, Interim Final - April 2004

摘要

Module 5 deals with the public health response measures that would potentially be used to minimize public exposure to potentially contaminated water. It discusses the important issue of who is responsible for making the decision to initiate public health response actions, and considers the role of the water utility in this decision process. Specifically, it examines the role of the utility during a public health response action, as well as the interaction among the utility, the drinking water primacy agency, the public health community, and other parties with a public health mission.
