Being
Prepared - How to Protect Yourself, Your Family and Your Business
Understanding Water and Terrorism,
is a book that provides a complete overview of the potential threat to
the United States public water supply. It provides information in a
clear, organized, non-technical, straightforward manner.
This book will
help you to prepare for an emergency water supply disruption so that you
are better able to protect your community, your family and yourself.
"Hi Court - Your Water Books arrived today.
and in spite of the fact that I'm up to my eyes in work, I dropped
everything to go through them. They are Wonderful! I especially love
Understanding Water and Terrorism. What a
timely topic! I have thought, many times, of how easily our enemies
could wipe out entire cities or water systems, and what those of us who
survive would have to do to hand on until a safe water supply could be
restored." - Bette Filley, Dunamis House
According to J. Edgar Hoover, former
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director:
"Among public
utilities, water supply facilities offer a particularly vulnerable point
of attack...."
According to an article by Rich Anderson, Urban Water Council and Jeff
Sloan, Chlorine Chemistry Council;
"Serious concerns have arisen regarding our nations preparedness for
bioterrorism attacks in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorists
attacks. Confirmed cases of anthrax fuel this concern and local government
is fully engaged in discussion as to how to prepare for and respond to
various forms of bioterrorism."

informative book put up by the United Nations -
Understanding Water and Terrorism - WERI
It is critical for all of us, as
citizens, to know where our water supply comes from and where and how it
is vulnerable to disruption or enemy attack.
"This book is directed to a
general audience, but should be particularly useful for nonprofessionals
involved with water management including mayors and water board members,
teachers, journalists, and concerned citizens. The book compliments but
does not substitute for the training materials prepared for water system
managers, police departments, and first responders, and other water
managers and security personnel." - Journal of the
American Water Resources Association, February 2005, Robert R. Hearne,
Department of Agribusiness and Applied Economics, North Dakota State
University.
Our water supply is critical to our
way of life. Without clean fresh water our lives, our families and
our businesses are at risk. Our society will fail.
How do I Protect myself,
my family and my business?
"Educating ourselves is one of the most important things that we can
do." - H. Court Young, author, speaker and publisher
Education about the threat removes the fear of the unknown. While an
attack may still be unexpected, with a lot of shock value, education and
knowledge help remove the "panic" that can make the situation worse.
You can be prepared.

"It should be common knowledge that a first step in protecting America's
infrastructure is to educate oneself and others...."
William C. Butler, PhD, Security Consultant
"I
was born in what used to be Rhodesia, and during the terrorist war there
in the 1970s water supplies were poisoned and villagers died or suffered,
so I am very aware of the huge risk to life."
SAA, Librarian, and Understanding Water and Terrorism book owner
"H.
Court Young has an unusual understanding of our water system and the
threat that terrorism poses to our society in that area. He does an
excellent job of explaining that threat to the average reader and gives
a good view of how our national water system works." -
Writer's
Digest Review - March 2004
"This book Understanding Water and Terrorism is an
invaluable resource for any concerned citizen and especially for members
of water boards. It is chock full of useful statistics and facts and the
sources, both internet and publications, for the information reported in
the book. The inter-relationships between the water industry and the
other critical infrastructures is particularly revealing." -
Dr. Murray G. Hamilton, Director, Rocky
Mountain Center for Homeland Defense, Denver Research Institute,
University of Denver
"Thank you very much for the book, which I have
found most illuminating." - Professor Shimshon Belkin,
Institute of Life Sciences, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem |

What others are Saying
Is this small water reservoir in the Colorado Rocky Mountains at risk?
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear
the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy,
for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know
neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."
- Sun Tzu - The Art of War
