Emergency Response & Notification Plan Generator

When something goes wrong, the plan is the difference between a controlled response and a scramble. Systems serving more than 3,300 people must certify an ERP under AWIA §2013; many states require an emergency notification plan from every system. Small systems should have one either way.

This generator produces a practical small-system emergency response and notification plan. Systems serving more than 3,300 people have specific AWIA §2013 certification obligations — this document helps you prepare but does not replace the EPA certification. Confirm state-specific notification requirements with your primacy agency. Not legal advice.
