In responding to emergencies, rapid organized actions from public works are critical. The Utah APWA Chapter Emergency Management Committee recognized the need to develop an alliance among state-wide public works agencies to provide assistance across jurisdictional boundaries. Participating agencies that have experienced a natural or man-made disaster can obtain emergency assistance in the form of personnel, materials, equipment or other associated services from other nearby agencies. Learn about the components of the Utah mutual aid agreement and how agencies in your area can set up something similar.
Learning Objectives:
- Initiate an inter-local agreement to address emergencies across jurisdictional boundaries.
- Incorporate outside public works agencies into their emergency planning and preparation.
- Acquire additional resources to assist their public works agencies in times of need.
