PREPAREDNESS/EMERGENCY/CONTINGENCY PLANNING
Water Services, Environmental Health, Rescue Administration
Success Factors 1/2
1. ”Extended” WSP/SSP: stakeholders in important role
Collaboration between drinking water supplier / wastewater treatment
operator, authorities and stakeholders
– suggested WSP/SSP team
• members of the operator
• environmental protection authority
• health protection authority
• authorities for construction and land use
• rescue authority
• stakeholders with environment permit (e.g. industry that may pose a threat to
environment)
• stakeholders with requirement of particularly high quality drinking water (e.g. food
industry)
– environment permit for wastewater operator
• risk assessment required by the authority
• no common tool prior to SSP
The percentage of predefined hazardous events and hazard combinations
(N=881) in WSP that can only be controlled if collaboration between different
stakeholders exists

Major Gaps
Mutual trust?
POSSIBLE, if there is no prior collaboration
Statutory in National Legislation in Finland
