Memorandum
Date: March 17, 2020
To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Denise Pomeroy, Health Services Director
Subject: Approve California Mutual Aid Region II Intra-Region Cooperative Agreement for Emergency Medical and Health Disaster Assistance and authorize Board Chair to Sign
Executive Summary: Mutual aid agreements allow for the mobilization of resources to and from regions to prevent and combat any type of emergency and are fundamental to public health emergency responses. Having this Agreement in place will streamline and expedite any needed mutual aid during an emergency.
This Agreement will also prevent the time consuming process of drafting individual MOU’s and Agreements after disasters. Additionally Mutual Aid Agreements can expedite FEMA reimbursement for services, equipment, and supplies delivered via mutual aid.
At this time out of the 17 Region II counties Lake is the only county not entered into this Agreement. To ensure the rapid response of resources in an emergency, help keep our community safe, and promote the collaborative spirit of Lake County, Health Services Department respectfully asks for approval to enter into the Region II Cooperative Agreement.
