Request Mutual Aid and Assistance

  • Contact neighboring utilities for assistance
  • Request activation of the WARN through the State WARN Chair or other means appropriate to your WARN
  • Ensure both utilities are part of the WARN agreement
  • Complete any required paperwork
  • Designate a utility WARN liaison officer to coordinate incoming resources and credentialing requirements

Several Our Town Utility key staff are unavailable due to injury and family emergencies. Repair crew vehicles have been damaged and additional resources are needed to aid in the response.

Rick and Cole request help from the neighboring utility, but the utility cannot offer help. Our Town Utility is a member of its state WARN. Using available communication methods, Rick contacts Tiffany Trommel, the State WARN Chair, who helps Our Town Utility find the resources it needs from member utilities throughout the state.

Cole completes the appropriate WARN forms and designates a utility WARN liaison officer.
