Under GSA's new order, owners of leased government spaces must now conduct baseline drinking water testing. Once receiving a notice, you'll only have 90 days to hire a qualified professional to conduct sampling and provide results to the GSA. What do those impacted need to know for compliance, and how can CTEH’s decades of sampling experience, advanced credentials, and industry relationships help streamline the process? We’re explaining more on our blog: https://hubs.ly/Q02DVYRW0

Are you “ready” for a disaster? It seems straightforward enough, right? Not so fast. As I talk about disaster preparedness across the country and with colleagues from other nations we all agree the preparedness process is multifaceted. It begins at the individual level and should include the household plan, the community plan, the workplace plan, and beyond. In the work environment consider whether your staff can work remotely or communicate if cell towers are down or signal is out. Do you have pre-existing contracts or vetted vendors if an event happens? What about a list of available resources with or without a federal declaration? Resilience is about having a plan and resources to minimize disruption and impact. Proper planning is crucial to disaster resiliency. #CTEH #disasterpreparedness #resilience #disasterplanning

How do you support your staff who are responding to crisis and emergency situations? #mentalhealth of #firstresponders and #emergencymanagement personnel is key to a healthy organization. It is important to infuse this in the culture of the community. Does your operational strategy and #businesscontinuity plans include supporting the whole person? #cteh

When asked how I prepare my own home for a disaster a few steps come to mind: -Securing important documents in a fire proof safe within a waterproof bag and having copies backed up electronically. - I pick up a case of water when shopping and keep enough cases in the house to support each of us and our dog for several days (one case per grocery trip is less than $5). - I keep a stock of non-perishable foods; pick up on extra can of beans or soup (less than $2). - I have back up lights/flashlights and a fan that can be charged via usb or solar. Those simple steps over time can help immensely. #preparedness #disaster #emergencymanagement #CTEH
