Video Testimonial
It's really important to establish relationships in advance of an incident with regard to emergency preparedness with other utility partners, federal, state and local partners, public-private partnerships, your VOADS, your volunteer agencies such as the Red Cross, the Salvation Army. There are so many people that can assist with regard to the whole community approach, which is very important.

It's very important to think about, "Where can I fit? What board might I be able to sit on? What working group might I be able to get involved with?" The Environmental Protection Agency, for example, they have working groups throughout the United States that focus primarily on putting together preparedness plans. They have many documents in place. They're a phone call away, as are the other emergency response agencies. All you have to do is call them, introduce yourself to them, and find a way to get an appointment to have a seat at their table.
