Mission Statement
The Emergency Management Committee shall inform, promote and educate the Chapter members and colleagues in Public Works, as necessary, about emergency management issues that will enable everyone to provide extraordinary services in times of extraordinary needs.

CRITICAL TOPIC: Mutual Assistance Agreement
The Wisconsin APWA Emergency Management Committee is currently working on updating the standard Mutual Assistance Agreement.

The current version of the Statewide Mutual Assistance Agreement is linked below as well as the statutory authority for your information. It should be noted that this agreement does not supersede any agreement that you might have, it can only complement it.
