Los Angeles Fires:

Thank you to the outpouring from the water and wastewater community offering help.  Please do not self-deploy.  Needs from the impacted water agencies will be coordinated with agencies that have the resources they are looking for.   Resources are being sent from the closest agencies first.  Agencies that are able to respond and assist, please add your information to https://forms.gle/ZPJwvsZFJCR5TDkD9.

A representative from CalWARN will be in touch with you as soon as they can to acknowledge receipt.

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).

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.
