Western Region Mutual Assistance Agreement (WRMAA) Annual Meeting - 2015

Program Description: Twelve years ago, the Western Region Mutual Assistance Agreement was signed as an effort for gas and electric utilities throughout Western North America to support one another in the event of an emergency affecting generation, transmission, distribution and/or services. Parties involved in the WRMAA convene each year to share best practices, discuss key emergency response issues, review the agreement itself and name the annual custodian. If your employer is a party to the WRMAA, take advantage of this opportunity to develop relationships and network with others involved in emergency response. Many participants also attend Emergency Response + Assistance Practices each spring.

Who Should Attend:

• Operations managers 
• Emergency management coordinators 
• Disaster recovery planners 
• Directors of business continuity planning 
• Emergency preparedness supervisors 
• Managers of emergency services 
• Emergency planning and response specialists 
• Safety specialists 
• Parties to the Western Region Mutual Assistance Agreement
