San Mateo County Public Works <br />Checklist for Mutual Aid Assistance <br />I. Pre -Event <br />Attachment A <br />Develop procedures at the local operational area to carry out mutual aid including checklists of <br />actions, resource lists, etc. <br />II. Post Event <br />1. Local Agency quickly assesses estimated extent of damage and availability of local <br />resources to respond. <br />2. If it is apparent that outside resources will be needed to effectively deal with the emergency, <br />promptly authorize local official to request Proclamation of Local Emergency and, if <br />warranted, request State of Emergency Proclamation through the Operational Area <br />Emergency Operation Center. <br />3. Upon proclamation of local emergency, request mutual aid assistance from Operational <br />Area Public Works Mutual Aid Coordinator according to pre -established procedures in <br />WebEOC. <br />4. Ensure request is specific as to type and quantity of resources needed, when to report, who <br />to report to, how long needed, type of work to be performed. <br />Once a providing party can be located to satisfy the resource request, the coordinator will <br />determine how quickly these resources can be made available and notify the requesting <br />party of that fact. <br />5. The requesting party will make all necessary arrangements to care for the assisting party's <br />personnel and equipment if needed. <br />6. The requesting party will carefully document all costs by specific damage site according <br />to State and Federal procedures to maximize reimbursement for costs. Carefully record the <br />names of assisting personnel and equipment at each site, hours worked, and mileage. <br />7. The requesting party should return the assisting party's resources as soon as possible. <br />County of San Mateo <br />Public Works Mutual. Aid Agreement <br />Procedure Guide <br />5 <br />
