16. Backup water supply plan is incomplete. A comprehensive backup water supply plan must be in place. Even if the plan is to relocate residents, a plan must exist that explains that the health department will be contacted if water is lost after 4 hours and where residents will be relocated to. If kitchen will still be used to supply food or laundry facilities used on site, a water supply for kitchen and laundry operations will have to be in place and included in plan. The plan must account for the amount of water needed to perform the following functions: food preparation, hand washing, bathing, cleaning, dishwashing, laundry, disposal of bodily waste. A reduction in the amount of water needed may be used if laundry is outsourced during the outage and food is served with a single service plates and utensils. The plan must indicate that the local health department is to be notified if the outage lasts more than 4 hours.
