MUTUAL AID OPERATIONS - PART 2
This Mutual Aid information is generic and non specific, as it can vary state to state. For example, California legislation has created systems that must be used under the force of state law so it will not be covered here.

MUTUAL AID OPERATIONS
Mutual aid can be both relatively simple and extremely complex at the same time. Mutual aid as a matter of neighbor helping neighbor seems obvious. For decades Fire and Law Disciplines have used "Mutual Aid" as the way they handle the situation when additional resources are needed in response to a fire or law support situation. RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
A Resource Management Plan is required in order to provide the unit with a means to provide its sponsoring agency with the resources (personnel and equipment) to handle the emergency communications for any type of exercise or incident. TRAINING, THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS
Training is the most important part of an Emergency Communications Organization. Without it the organization will not be able to meet its responsibilities, nor meet the usual expectations of the sponsoring agency. Untrained is unprepared. The responsibilities outlined in the two prior bulletins (EMC368 and EMC369) are just that - RESPONSIBILITIES - not tasks to do personally, but through delegation to qualified unit personnel. So, let's look at that in a brief example of staff appointments.
