Comments: USACE Emergency Water Team Staffing is designed to provide the minimum number of personnel to effectively manage and support the execution of the water mission in concert with the responding Emergency Response and Recovery Office command and control structure. The team configuration is designed to staff the three operational functions required to execute a major Federal Response Plan mission: Emergency Support Function #3 (Public Works and Engineering) element at the Disaster Field Office, Emergency Response and Recovery Office, and the Staging Operations area(s).The preferred method of providing water to disaster victims is by bottled water because the containers are usually stronger and easier to carry, and reduce opportunity for disease transmission as the water is consumed in a shorter period of time. |
