The role of a mutual aid coordinator is to <br />receive mutual aid requests, coordinate the provision of resources from within the coordinator's <br />geographic area of responsibility and pass on unfilled requests to the next level. Law Enforcement, Fire <br />and Rescue Services, Coroners and the Medical Health Operational Coordinators work within existing State <br />mutual aid systems for requests and assignments of mutual aid. <br />Mutual aid requests that do not fall into one of the discipline -specific mutual aid systems are handled <br />through the emergency services mutual aid system by emergency management staff at the local <br />government, Operational Area, regional, and State levels. When EOC's are activated, all discipline -specific <br />mutual aid systems will establish coordination and communications within the respective local, <br />Operational Area, regional, or State EOCs. Mutual aid system representatives at an EOC may be located in <br />various functional elements (sections, branches, groups, or units) or serve as an agency representative, <br />depending on how the EOC is organized and the extent to which it is activated. <br />3.5.2 REDWOOD CITY MUTUAL AID <br />The City is a signatory to the California Disaster and Civil Defense Master Mutual Aid Agreement, which <br />gives authority to the various fire and law enforcement mutual aid plans and agreements for assistance <br />30 <br />329 <br />
