As shown in the figure, the emergency coordinator can form partnerships and seek advice from a variety of organizations. The emergency coordinator may also work with: neighboring utilities through the Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network (WARN), vendors, critical customers, and community groups.

Be sure to establish proper credentialing, which is the administrative process for validating personnel qualifications and providing authorization to perform specific functions and to gain access to affected areas/facilities or support mutual aid/assistance deployments during an emergency.
