Welcome to the CalWARN Web Portal

CalWARN has started an effort with CDPH and DDW on mapping all potable water system boundaries.  The effect of this effort is to map all systems and incorporate this mapping into CalWARNs member and incident mapping.  To learn more about this mapping effort, contact your DDW engineer or CalWARN regional Chair/Vice Chair.  You can get more information on the Initiatives page.

The CalWARN Mission: The mission of the California Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network (CalWARN) is to support and promote statewide emergency preparedness, disaster response, and mutual assistance processes for public and private water and wastewater utilities. This new CalWARN Web Portal expands Signatory Utility’s ability to achieve agency, regional and state preparedness by providing new tools and proven practices that can enhance readiness while providing daily value to your organization and customers.

This CalWARN Web portal provides its Signatories and potential new Signatory Utilities with information about these tools and how they can be used for emergencies and disasters before, during and after these events occur.

The CalWARN Program provides its member utilities with:

·        A standard omnibus mutual assistance agreement and process for sharing emergency resources among Signatories statewide.

·        The resources to respond and recover more quickly from a disaster.

·        A mutual assistance program consistent with other statewide mutual aid programs and the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS).

·        A forum for developing and maintaining emergency contacts and relationships.

·        New ideas from lessons learned in disasters.

Our Mission:
The mission of the California Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network is to support and promote statewide emergency preparedness, disaster response, and mutual assistance processes for public and private water and wastewater utilities.

Organization:
The statewide California Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network (CalWARN) functions in coordination with the State Office of Emergency Services (OES). CalWARN is organized along the geographical lines established by OES as shown on the map. 

Representatives (signers of the CalWARN agreement) of public and private water and wastewater utilities in each region establish a steering committee comprised of volunteers from member utilities within the region. A chair is elected by the committee to act as administrator for that region and serve on the statewide steering committee, which also elects a chair. The regional steering committee organizes an annual meeting for signatory utilities to address concerns and procedures related to mutual assistance and emergency preparedness.

At least annually, each regional chair provides member utilities an updated list of emergency contacts and a data base of available equipment. This Web site assists with this task. Additionally, the statewide steering committee meets annually to address mutual assistance concerns.

The Statewide Steering Committee consists of CalWARN regional chairs, the Executive Director of the California Utilities Emergency Association (CUEA), representatives from the California Department of Public Health Drinking Water Program (CDPH-DWP), the Department of Water Resources (DWR), the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Security & Emergency Planning Committee, the California Rural Water Association and the California Sanitation Risk Management Authority.
