Recent media reports have indicated that bioterrorism remains a major concern for many U.S. citizens. Federal, state, and local governments continue to work together to develop and implement plans to protect the public against future attacks, as well as to ensure that emergency management plans are in place should any such attacks occur in the future. Many nonprofit organizations, such as the American Water Works Association, whose members include municipal water treatment facilities from around the U.S., are also involved in developing new guidelines to enhance the protection of potential sites for a bioterrorist attack, such as municipal water supplies.
