OH WARN Workshop

Ohio WARN is a statewide Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network (WARN) of “utilities helping utilities” to prepare for the next natural or human-caused emergency, organize response according to established requirements, and share personnel and other resources statewide, by agreement.The mission of the Ohio WARN network is to support and promote statewide emergency preparedness, disaster response and mutual aid assistance for public and private water and wastewater utilities for natural and human caused events in the State.

Ohio WARN

The Ohio WARN membership invites you to participate in our workshop for water and wastewater utilities, county emergency management agencies, and other response partners. The conference is an opportunity to gain operator contact hours, learn more about the mutual aid program, and preparedness activites for the utility sector.
Invited speakers include regulatory policy makers, state agency grant administrators, and Ohio WARN Steering Committee members. Topics will cover the spectrum of utility preparedness efforts, including planning, response, and recovery.
