    Relevant Options

    Develop a comprehensive maintenance and training program for local government employees at facilities with backup generators to ensure proper placement, hook-up and function during hazard events. Build levees or earthen dikes around flood-threatened critical public facilities. Purchase backup generators for the water infrastructure system to provide a sustained minimal level of water services in the event of a catastrophic power loss.
