Emergency Response: It pays to prepare

Emergency Response: It pays to prepare

Industry News 16 Apr 25

Water Direct manages hundreds of emergency responses or disaster recovery operations throughout the UK each year.

 

Whatever the nature of the incident, companies and governmental agencies trust our expertise and technical knowledge to handle any emergency with the highest regard to the environment and health and safety.

All businesses like to think that their processes are fail-safe, with no potential for unexpected incidents. This is especially true for businesses who rely on alternative water supply to run or perform daily operations.

However, this is unfortunately not always the case. As with all businesses, things will inevitably go wrong. It’s crucial to have plans in place for when this happens, to minimise disruption to your business, financial repercussions and the impact on the environment.

Don’t rely on your water wholesaler

If there is a problem with the water supply, water wholesalers have a limited capacity to provide emergency water and have to give priority to vulnerable sites, like hospitals. If they can help, it’s likely to be just water to drink.

Preparing for the worst-case scenario

Incidents can cause huge problems for businesses. They can lead to lost revenue and disruption to operations, not to mention damage to your business’s reputation. Making sure you have plans in place should something unexpected occur is crucial to getting your business back on track.
