Welcome

Idaho's Water-Wastewater Agency Response Network, referred to as IdWARN is the formalized system of "utilities helping utilities" to address mutual aid during emergency situations. The project's infrastructure will consist of a secure web-based data bank of available resources and a practical mutual aid agreement designed to reduce bureaucratic red tape in times of emergency.

IdWARN will work with various industry groups and public agencies linking the Idaho Water community including:

  • The latest interactive models for security protocols to aid in continual risk assessment and updating ERPs.
  • A series of continually updated boiler-plate public information and press release templates tailored to meet the latest developments and provide immediate public response.
  • Quarterly regional and annual statewide meetings to bring together both significant State authorities and national interests, providing the best and latest insights to power the agencies ongoing preparedness process. These meetings will include workshops in utilizing IdWARN to the agencies best advantage.
  • Technologies to facilitate sharing of information between members.
