  • Title: Emergency preparedness guidelines for water treatment systems.
    Author: Amato RL.
    Journal: Nephrol Nurs J; 2001 Oct; 28(5):500-3. PubMed ID: 12143425.
    Abstract:
    While many dialysis facilities prepare for loss of power and water in disaster situations, it is equally important to prepare for loss of quality drinking water. Natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and tornadoes can affect the quality of the potable water delivered for dialysis by adding contaminants. This article presents a checklist of how to prepare the water treatment system against natural disasters and what to do after an event occurs.
