What is AbWARN?
June 12th, 2007 by Administrator
The mission of the Alberta Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network is to support and promote a province-wide emergency preparedness, disaster response, and mutual assistance program for public and private water and wastewater utilities.
The AbWARN Web site does this by providing its members with emergency planning, response and recovery information before, during and after an emergency.
The core of the AbWARN Web site is its emergency equipment database that matches utility resources to a member’s needs during an emergency. A member can locate emergency equipment (pumps, generators, chlorinators, evacuators, etc.) and trained personnel (eg. treatment plant operators) that they may need in an emergency.
There are two sides to this Web site. The public side is open to anyone to view. This side gives you basic information about AbWARN, water/wastewater news stories and how to join.
The second side, the communication network and emergency preparedness information is only open to members who have signed the agreement, and it is free!
