OUR HISTORY
The NHWC was formed in 1993 by agreement between the ALERT Users Group and the Southwestern Association of ALERT Systems, to be the national voice for these regional users groups. This original agreement was amended in 1999 when the ALERT-Flows East Coast Users Group was brought under the NHWC umbrella. The NHWC was officially incorporated as a stand-alone organization in 2005. The organization follows its approved NHWC By-Laws for its operations, which were revised by the membership in 2013.
