Below are resources and guidance from leading experts, government agencies, the IBEW, and NECA about the COVID-19 pandemic, and recommendations to limit its impact.
National Disease Emergency Response Agreement
In recognition of the current emergency in our nation and the need for our industry to react quickly to this and future emergencies, the IBEW and NECA have developed the National
Disease Emergency Response Agreement (NDERA) for use by our contractors and members. This agreement provides our industry with the ability to react quickly to potential emergencies
related to this pandemic. The provisions of the agreement will become effective immediately, March 16, 2020, as it is intended for use and shall remain in effect until terminated. We shall meet via teleconference
every 30 days to evaluate this agreement and determine its continued utility. If you have any questions, please be sure to contact either the IBEW or NECA national organizations.
