The objective of this poster presentation is to highlightsome of these low cost actions. The recommendedpreparatory activities focus on the following activities:initiate outreach and communication to the other organizations participating in a potentialhazardous contamination event;set roles and responsibilities with these organizations and practice contamination responseevents;actively monitor the components that would likely warn the utility of a contamination event; and,build awareness of the laboratory capabilities that are present in your locality and establish alaboratory network.
