Description | The Preparing for a Water Emergency tool consists of a set of questions that can help evaluate the importance of a constant supply of good quality water for your operation, and how you can become better prepared to respond effectively if your water supply is compromised. |
Recommendation | Good business planning includes reducing risk and strengthening resiliency to overcome adverse events. Water supply rarely gets the attention it deserves, despite being a critical component of food processor enterprises. For food processors, potable water may be the material needed in the greatest amounts either as an ingredient or as part of the processing. |
