Excessive rainfall and dam failures resulted in floodwater contaminating our public water supply. The endotoxin risk in the contaminated water created challenges in recovery of sterile processing for our surgical equipment. Recovery plans should include a potable water source and a method to connect it to the required location. We share our solution of plumbing our sterile processing equipment to tanker-transported potable water sources. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2018; 12: 415-418).
降雨过多和大坝决堤导致洪水污染了我们的公共供水。受污染水中的内毒素风险给我们手术设备的无菌处理恢复工作带来了挑战。恢复计划应包括一个饮用水源以及将其连接到所需地点的方法。我们分享了将无菌处理设备连接到罐车运输的饮用水源的解决方案。（《灾难医学与公共卫生防范》。2018年；12：415 - 418）
