Phase 2 of BLR's Smart Water Grid system is designed to expand BLR's capacity to serve its Tribal Members, local region and emergency response crews with access to water during the case of a large-scale emergency disaster. Much of the North Coast is situated along several identified fault lines that are subject to significant impacts from a large-scale seismic event. The BLR is physically located outside of the identified regional Tsunami Zones yet is close to municipalities within those zones. Further, BLR has remained just west of several large-scale wildfires that have affected Humboldt County and our neighboring Mendocino and Trinity County's over the past several years. BLR's goal is to be a hub of support during emergencies to agencies providing emergency response efforts. BLR's existing water tank is unable to support these efforts. BLR desires to improve the capacity of an existing well to be able to provide a consistent water source during an emergency.
