Two new videos on Water and Wastewater Agency Response Networks (WARNs)

EPA has produced two videos on WARN to improve awareness of the WARN initiative, attract new members to existing WARNs, and promote the benefits of WARN and conducting tabletop exercises.

The first video, titled “Background on the WARN Initiative”, is targeted to non-WARN members and response partners unfamiliar with WARN. The video describes how WARN programs were started, the current status of WARNs across the United States, and the benefits of joining a WARN.
