STATEWIDE MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT
This Agreement between the DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS, State of Florida
(the "Department"), and all the local governments signing this Agreement (the "Participating Par-
ties") is based on the existence of the following conditions:
A. The State of Florida is vulnerable to a wide range of disasters that are likely to cause the
disruption of essential services and the destruction of the infrastructure needed to deliver those
services.
i B. Such disasters are likely to exceed the capability of any one local government to cope
with the disaster with existing resources.
C. Such disasters may also give rise to unusual technical needs that the local government
may be unable to meet with existing resources, but that other local governments may be able to offer.
D. The Emergency Management Act, as amended, gives the local governments of the State
the authority to make agreements for mutual assistance in emergencies, and through such agreements
to ensure the timely reimbursement of costs incurred by the local governments which render such
assistance.
E. Under the Act the Department, through its Division of Emergency Management (the
"Division"), has authority to coordinate assistance between local governments during emergencies
and to concentrate available resources where needed.
9

F. The existence in the State of Florida of special districts, educational districts, and other
regional and local governmental entities with special functions may make additional resources
available for use in emergencies.

ment and supplies to make them self-sufficient for food, shelter, and operations unless the

8
be responsible to provide food and shelter for the personnel of the Assisting Party unless the

C. If the Department or the Requesting Party, as the case may be, protests any bill
or item on a bill from an Assisting Party, it shall do so in writing as soon as practicable, but
in no event later than thirty (30) days after the bill is received. Failure to protest any bill or
billed item in writing within thirty (30) days shall constitute agreement to the bill and the
items on the bill.
D. If the Department protests any bill or item on a bill from an Assisting Party, the
Assisting Party shall have thirty (30) days from the date of protest to present the bill or item
to the original Requesting Party for payment, subject to any protest by the Requesting Party.

Assisting Party, or the Requesting Party may elect binding arbitration to determine its liabil-
ity for the protested bill or billed item in accordance with Section F of this Article.

chosen shall select another such official as a third arbitrator.

a decision in writing not later than ten (10) days after the close of the hearing. The decision
of a majority of the arbitrators shall bind the parties, and shall be final.
H. If the Requesting Party has not forwarded a request through the Department, or
if an Assisting Party has rendered assistance without being requested to do so by the De-
partment, the Department shall not be liable for the costs of any such assistance. All requests
to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for the reimbursement of costs incurred by
any Participating Party shall be made by and through the Department.
