Master Mutual Aid Agreement

SEMS indicates the formation of a mutual aid system: the voluntary provision of services and facilities when existing resources prove to be inadequate. Under this agreement, cities, counties and the State joined together to voluntarily provide services, resources and facilities to jurisdictions when local resources prove to be inadequate to cope with a given situation. Written mutual aid plans and procedures have been developed for several discipline-specific mutual aid systems, and these function within the Master Mutual Aid Agreement. Fire and law enforcement have used mutual aid systems for a long time; there are others, including Emergency Medical mutual aid.
