Water Security: Shifting to an All‐Hazards Resiliency Approach
This article discusses the Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network (WARN) system, developed by Florida in 2004 as a response to its hurricane season and based on the California model. It is a system of mutual aid and assistance to other utilities in the event of a disaster. Based on this example, representatives from four water and wastewater associations have agreed that a template describing the basic elements of a network needed to be developed to facilitate the future expansion of the intrastate WARN program. The result is the Joint Policy Statement on Mutual Aid and Assistance Networks. In addition, a white paper was developed about the basics of forming a statewide organizing committee and the issues that such a committee would need to address. It is titled, “Utilities Helping Utilities: An Action Plan for Mutual Aid and Assistance Networks for Water and Wastewater Utilities.” This action plan lays out a 10‐step checklist for moving forward, a sample mutual aid and assistance agreement that works within the National Incident Management System framework, and a comparison of some existing programs.
