Video: Security Vulnerability Assessment for Water Systems
EPA's Drinking Water Academy and the National Environmental Training Association have produced a video for small water systems that shows how to develop a vulnerability assessment through music and character-based scenarios. The video highlights the six basic elements common to all vulnerability assessments; and some vulnerability assessment tools available to small systems.
After viewing the video, the small water system should have a working knowledge of how to prepare a vulnerability assessment; know enough about a vulnerability assessment to ask informed questions if needing assistance from EPA Regional Offices, State Drinking Water Primacy Agencies, third party providers, or other resources that have been established to assist in preparing security vulnerability assessments; and, gain confidence in their ability to prepare and submit an assessment.
A version of the video is also available for water systems with populations under 3,300 to aid in assessment of their vulnerability. The videos are available singly or as a 2-video set from the National Environmental, Safety, and Health Training Association (NESHTA) at no cost except for shipping and handling. You can print the order form  [PDF - 42 KB - 4 pp] and mail or fax it to the address on the form.
