Colorado § 24-33.5-713

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 24: Government
• Art.: Public Safety

Text

(1) Political subdivisions not participating in
interjurisdictional arrangements pursuant to this part 7 nevertheless shall be
encouraged and assisted by the office of emergency management to conclude
suitable arrangements for furnishing mutual aid in coping with disasters. The
arrangements shall include provision of aid by persons and units in public employ.

(2) In passing upon local disaster plans, the governor shall consider whether
such plans contain adequate provisions for the rendering and receipt of mutual aid.

(3) It is a sufficient reason for the governor to require an interjurisdictional
agreement or arrangement pursuant to section 24-33.5-708 that the area involved
and political subdivisions therein have available equipment, supplies, and forces
necessary to provide mutual aid on a regional basis and that the political
subdivisions have not already made adequate provision for mutual aid; except that,
in requiring the making of an interjurisdictional arrangement to accomplish the
purpose of this section, the governor need not require establishment and
maintenance of an interjurisdictional agency or arrangement for any other disaster
purposes.
