The water sector has expanded its mutual aid and assistance capability through the establishment of an intrastate network, the Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network (WARN) (www.NationalWARN.org).

To expedite communication of water sector resource needs during an incident, the American Water Works Association (AWWA) developed the Water & Wastewater Mutual Aid & Assistance Resource Typing Manual , which uses EMAC for interstate mutual aid deployments. 

This manual was developed with extensive input from water utility owners/operators and is based on the team/mission approach to incident response for intra- and interstate mutual aid and assistance.
