Cuando un evento atmosférico de fuertes lluvias afecta una región con vientos destructivos y marejadas ciclónicas, la amenaza contra el suministro de agua potable es una gran preocupación.

El consumo de agua contaminada puede provocar serios problemas de salud, como enfermedades gastrointestinales y problemas reproductivos, de acuerdo con los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC, por sus siglas).

Los contaminantes también pueden causar enfermedades como la disentería, el cólera y la hepatitis, según la Agencia Federal par el Manejo de Desastres (FEMA).

El CDC establece que los niños, los ancianos y aquellos con sistemas inmunes comprometidos están particularmente en riesgo.
