IdWARN Network Mission
To promote statewide emergency preparedness, disaster response, and mutual assistance for public and private water/wastewater utilities.
How IdWARN Helps Idaho Utilities
The Utilities Helping Utilities concept gives water/wastewater utilities the opportunity to be more resilient during disaster response and recovery.
Because disasters transcend political jurisdictional boundaries, multi-utility coordination is crucial to protect lives and property and to facilitate the efficient use of available assets, both public and private.
IdWARN is designed to provide quick and professional assistance in any situation that overwhelms the capabilities of a water/wastewater utility.
How It Works
No formal declaration of emergency is needed for assistance through IdWARN, and assistance can take the form of personnel, equipment, materials, services, or anything that your utility needs help with.
A member utility may request deployment of emergency support to restore critical operations at the affected water/wastewater utility.
Member agencies are never obligated to respond.
