New Website Functionality

This new website offers new functions:

Member managed activation: CoWARN members can now activate the CoWARN Network for emergency resource requests from their website profile. This feature enables emergency requests to be sent to the membership via email and text communications. Once assistance is received, it allows the Requestor to provide an update to the rest of the membership and close out the request.

Message board: CoWARN members now have access to a free message board where they can share lessons learned, discuss best management practices, and troubleshoot issues related to utility emergency management.

Events page: CoWARN often partners with state and federal agencies to put on emergency preparedness training events for water and wastewater providers. All events offered by CoWARN will be advertised on the events webpage
