Drinking water supply in disaster areas is a challenge beacause
materials used are susceptible to fouling which can promote bacterial growth e.g hose pipes, containers, plastic tanks, valves from taps. Unhygienic and Overcrowded residence areas promote opportunistic diseases. The preparedness of the country for disasters plays a crucial role in dealing with disasters. EPA & DHHS had a plan on how to tackle disaster cases. Education and training has to be offered to developing countries to improve their water systems. Situations can be improved only if water treatment and management is taken as part of the culture. Availability of resources and knowledge on water issues can improve the countries standards on water management for along time.
