On this segment from SCVTV’s Community Corner, SCV Water Communications Manager Kathie Martin shares how natural disasters can affect the water supply and gives tips for emergency water supply prep.

In California, the most common natural disaster that can affect local water supplies are earthquakes. Pipes, reservoirs, and other common water sources can be at risk for damages, leading to disruptions for customers.

Therefore, prepping your water supply ahead of time can help ensure you have enough potable drinking water after disaster strikes, which can help alleviate some of the frustration and concern that often comes with the aftermath of a disaster or emergency.

Watch the segment to learn how disasters can affect our water supply and the steps you can take to ensure you’re prepped.
