MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT
The backbone of AKWARN is the Mutual Aid Agreement. The agreement provides the
basis of understanding allowing for the network's ability to cooperate in emergencies.
It covers topics such as ownership of equipment, liability, equipment damage,
arbitration in case of dispute and a variety of other issues. The AGREEMENT is
being provided to you for your attorney, owner, board member or operator to
review and comment on. Please
contact AKWARN with questions regarding the Agreement. Water and wastewater utilities are encouraged to execute the agreement and
become original members of AKWARN. The AKWARN program will be coordinated by
a state committee and through this website. An advanced version of this website
will contain all of the information and details on how the WARN works as follows:
- The WARN agreement
- Policies, guidelines, and information regarding how to use
the agreement during the requesting, provision and removal of aid
- Incident tracking,
requestors, responders, progress, problems encountered, solutions,
etc.
- Resource
typing (what response team or portion of a team a utility can provide)
- Tabletop exercise design for practicing WARN activation/deactivation
