Emergency Services

There is a catastrophic earthquake. Your water treatment plant and distribution lines are out of service. There is no power. Your storage tanks are draining from multiple pipeline leaks. The roads to your community are out. You have 1500 people depending on you for drinking water, and all emergency services that might come from the city are busy with their own titanic challenges. What do you do now?

The answers may surprise you. Most of Blackburn & Associates overseas customers deal with problems like this on a daily basis. We have the experience and expertise to help you come up with a plan and implement it so that should that day come, you will be prepared to supply drinking and wash water for those looking to you for their own survival.

We can look at your present system, available water resources, human resources, and equipment capabilities and help you come up with a plan that is practical and within budget.

If yours is a rural community that may have to be self sufficient for weeks to months following a major catastrophe, you owe it to yourself and your constituents to plan ahead.

If you are currently facing rebuilding after a catastrophe, we can help you bring clean water back to your community.
