The below Mutual Aid Agreement (MAA) is aimed at facilitating a rapid emergency response amongst MIWARN member utilities. Signing the MAA is NOT mandatory for basic MIWARN registration. However, members are encouraged to sign and submit the agreement as soon as possible.

The MAA has been carefully crafted by legal experts working with utilities to promote "utilities helping utilities" in time of emergency. Your support is appreciated. The MIWARN Steering Committee will review all suggestions for future improvements, including comments forwarded from member utilities’ attorneys, and may revise the MAA as needed, on a yearly basis.

Having a signed MAA already on file prior to an emergency can greatly facilitate planning and prioritizing by agencies responding to your requests for help in time of need.
