What is a KYWARN Event?
KYWARN can be activated when there has been a declaration of an emergency
issued by a community’s authorized official or alternate, whose name is listed as such on the KYWARN Web site (Mutual Aid Agreement). Once activated, both parties would be acting under the provisions of the Mutual Aid Agreement.
While services may be exchanged among parties who are both KYWARN members, without
the formal declaration of an emergency, such activity would not qualify as a KYWARN
event and would occur outside of the KYWARN response network.
