The environmental science and engineering research community has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to rapidly mobilize to protect human health and the environment by performing research critical to disaster response. Recent examples include measuring pathogens exposure after hurricanes, 1− 3 evaluating drinking water contamination resulting from wildfires 4 and chemical spills, 5 investigating the cause and effects of lead contamination in Flint, Michigan, 6 and assessing the ramifications of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. 7 An ongoing example is the recent mobilization and rapid advancement of sewage monitoring as a tool for managing the COVID-19 pandemic. Early in the pandemic response, researchers predicted that SARS-CoV-2 genetic signals in wastewater could assist with monitoring the spread of COVID-19. Researchers not only rapidly mobilized to begin sampling, but collaborated with one another, sharing their protocols, results, and methodological pitfalls in real-time. Wastewater monitoring as a tool for managing the COVID-19 pandemic is
