What is an Emergency?

Any occurrence that is, or is likely to be, beyond the control of the services,
personnel, equipment, or facilities of a Party’s utility.
Emergencies are generally unforeseen events.

Participation in KYWARN does not create any duty to respond to a request for assistance.
When a Member receives a request for assistance, the Authorized Official shall have
absolute discretion as to the availability of resources. An Authorized Member’s
decisions on the availability of resources shall be final.
