STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the Arizona Mutual Aid Compact (Compact) between the City of Flagstaff and the Arizona Department of Military Affairs.
Executive Summary:
The Arizona Mutual Aid Compact enables participating political subdivisions and tribal nations to share resources, personnel, etc. during emergencies and then be reimbursed for the resources. The Compact provides a mechanism to participating parties to quickly obtain emergency assistance in the form of personnel, equipment, materials, and other related services. The primary objective is to facilitate rapid, short-term deployment of emergency support prior to, during and after an incident. A signed agreement does not obligate the provision or receipt of aid, the Compact provides a tool for use should the incident dictate a need.

Background and History:
The purpose of the Compact is to establish emergency management terms and procedures for participating Parties to provide mutual aid assistance to any affected area in accordance with local ordinances, resolutions, emergency plans, or agreements. The Compact is to (1) provide the procedures to notify the Providing Parties of the need for emergency assistance; (2) identify available resources; and (3) provide a mechanism for compensation for resources.
The Compact supports mutual aid coordination from the local, the state, and federal governments. It is guided by the Arizona Revised Statute, Title 26, Military Affairs and Emergency Managment, Arizona Administrative Code, Title 8, Chapter 2, Article 3 (addressing the Governor's Emergency Fund), and the National Incident Management System.
Any Party experiencing an emergency may request assistance from any other Party under this Compact. However, when making such requests, consideration should be given to the geographical proximity of the other Parties from which assistance is being requested. All requests for assistance from the State must be coordinated through the Requesting Party’s county emergency manager or tribal emergency manager, whichever is applicable.
Any request for assistance must specify:
1. What the emergency is.
2. The amount and type of resources needed.
3. The estimated period during which such mutual aid is required.
This Compact shall terminate ten years after the effective date or until participation in this Compact is terminated by the Party. The 2014 Compact shall cease to be effective as of midnight Arizona time on the evening of December 31, 2023, and this Compact shall go into effect immediately thereafter for all Parties that have signed this Compact before that date and time. This Compact shall continue in effect until midnight Arizona time on the evening of December 31, 2033.
