A new international study led by Kemira identifies where people are most vulnerable if their community suddenly loses access to clean water due to extreme weather-related disasters, outdated infrastructure and toxic contaminants.
- 91% of people surveyed across Europe and the US are concerned about extreme weather phenomena in their region
- 85% of people surveyed stated their region needs to improve efforts to help communities prepare for floods
- 84% of people surveyed feel that more work should be done to plan for future droughts and shortages in their region
- 62% of people surveyed have personally experienced water-related issues, such as flooding (20%), drought (16%) or a complete loss of water service (12%)
- Only 5% of people surveyed said they have a detailed plan and large backup water supply or source for their household in case of emergencies
