WASH Cluster – Emergency Training UF
• Additional items may be included in the non-food item (NFI) / hygiene kits e.g. impregnated mosquito nets, oral rehydration salts *
• Additional messages for communication efforts: Management of diarrhoea, malaria, urinary
infection Operation and maintenance of facilities given
high groundwater levels Hygienic waste disposal - avoiding drainage
systems and waterways becoming blocked with waste
• Specific targeting of different groups, distinguishing between those residing in camps and those in dwellings
* Approach to managing diarrhoea to be agreed with MoH and Health Cluster

Water supply – restart of machinery
6
WASH Cluster – Emergency Training UF
1. Switch on power and verify electrical functioning
2. Check functioning of each pump or group of pumps
3. Set in motion the water treatment process
4. Measure the flow and dosage of the treatment chemicals
5. Perform the ‘Jar test’ 6. Measure the turbidity of
water7. Check residence time in
each treatment stage8. Check water quality
Turbidity: should not exceed 2 NTU pH: between 6.8 and 7.2 to allow effective chlorination. Microbial contamination: 0 thermotolerant coliforms per 100 ml. Residual aluminium: <0.5mg per litre. Heavy metals and organic pollutants: Refer to ‘WHO guidelines for Water Quality’, (WHO, 2006).

Good practice – use of local materials
18
WASH Cluster – Emergency Training UF
Prioritise use of local materials, similar to those used previously, to repair and rehabilitate infrastructure.
With replacements, use similar locally-available parts e.g. electrical devices, pumps, valves, and pipelines, wherever possible.

WASH Cluster – Emergency Training UF
Key Learning Points• Importance of coordination and partnership building with local authorities, water boards and suppliers
• Interventions should focus on getting municipal supplies operating as quickly as possible
• There are a range of immediate short term WASH solutions appropriate in an urban flood setting
• The response should be tailored for different groups affected differently by the flood
• Main problems often ‘software’ rather than ‘hardware’
• Emergency preparedness is an essential consideration in urban contexts.
