Emergency response and recovery costs incurred by drinking water and wastewater utilities may be eligible for reimbursement through local, state, or federal level mechanisms. While the rules for allowable activities vary between reimbursement mechanisms, lessons learned from past incidents reveal that reimbursement is commonly not maximized. This is often due to lack of knowledge of or failure to follow proper procedures and processes specific to a particular mechanism. Reimbursement Tips for Water Sector Emergency Response and Recovery presents tips drinking water and wastewater utilities can use to maximize their ability to receive reimbursement.

The Hazard Mitigation Guide encourages water and wastewater utilities to work with their local mitigation planners to implement priority projects using FEMA or other source funding. It provides an overview of the mitigation process, along with practical examples of mitigation projects to address the impacts of earthquakes, tornados, floods, drought, wildfires and power outages.
