摘要

拥有稳定且随时可用的清洁水供应至关重要,这不仅是为了方便,也是为了保障公众健康。虽然清洁水供应中断会对各类社区造成影响,但有些基础设施和医疗保健设施比其他设施更容易受到影响,例如位于偏远地区或原住民社区内的设施。本文对 Sechelt 和贝拉贝拉原住民社区内发生的供水中断事件进行了案例研究,并介绍了相关的应对工作和经验教训。这两个事件都有类似的应对活动,需要减少正常的用水量、建立应急行动中心、通过供应链或运输合作伙伴获取资源、实施感染预防和公共卫生措施,以及与内部和外部机构合作。研究结果突出表明,有必要更加重视医疗机构内部的抗灾能力建设,尤其是那些为偏远地区或原住民社区提供服务的医疗机构。该研究还就现场和社区层面的供水中断应对规划以及非集中式备用供水系统的建立提出了建议。

Water, water, everywhere and not a drop to drink: Responding to water disruptions in two coastal healthcare facilities.

Having a consistent and readily available clean water supply is essential, not only for convenience but also to safeguard public health. While disruptions to the supply of clean water can impact communities of all kinds, some infrastructures and healthcare facilities are more vulnerable than others, such as those located in remote areas or within First Nations communities. This paper presents a case study of water disruption events within Sechelt and the First Nations community of Bella Bella, describing also the associated response efforts and lessons learned. Both events shared similar response activities, requiring the curtailing of normal water usage, the establishment of emergency operations centres, the sourcing of resources via supply chain or transportation partners, implementation of infection prevention and public health considerations, and collaboration with internal and external agencies. The learnings highlight a need for greater focus on building resiliency within healthcare facilities, especially those that serve remote or First Nations communities. The study also presents recommendations for water disruption response planning at the site and community level, and the establishment of non-centralised backup water systems.
