The Regional Mutual Aid Agreement defines cost reimbursement, liability, and insurance, among other parameters for jurisdictions seeking response aid in the event of an emergency. It covers response for all hazards (flooding, fire, or other disastrous events). More specifically, any event that requires emergency response from the following disciplines:

• Public Works
• Law Enforcement
• Fire
• Emergency Medical Services

This version of the Regional Mutual Aid Agreement is updated from the 2003 version and contains two major changes:

1. Change of notification of responding agency expenditures from 2 days to 180 days
2. Allowing 12 hours of operational service at no cost
