Description:
The interim final Response Protocol Toolbox: Planning for and Responding to Contamination Threats to Drinking Water Systems is designed to help the water sector effectively and appropriately respond to intentional contamination threats and incidents. It was produced by EPA, building on the experience and expertise of several drinking water utilities. Organized in modular format, the Response Protocol Toolbox (RPTB) will be of value to drinking water utilities, laboratories, emergency responders, state drinking water programs, technical assistance providers, public health and law enforcement officials. The Response Protocol Toolbox modules can be found in electronic PDF format on the EPA website at www.epa.gov/safewater/security under "Emergency Response Tools." Users are encouraged to review the brief Overview of the Response Protocol Toolbox (EPA-817-D-03-007) before using other Modules. The overview describes the entire RPTB and provides guidance on its application.
