What is IOWARN?

Iowa's Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network is the formalized system of "utilities helping utilities" to deliver mutual aid following major emergencies. Infrastructure will consist of a network of public and private utilities, a steering committee, a web-based communication system and a practical mutual aid agreement designed to reduce bureaucratic red tape in times of emergency.
