assistance in the form of personnel, equipment, and other associated items and services. This is usually accomplished through contractual
agreement. The primary objective is to facilitate rapid, short-term deployment of emergency support prior to, during, and after an incident.
Typically implemented by formal request on an incident by incident basis.
Automatic-Aid - emergency assistance between agencies, organizations and jurisdictions that is pre-arranged and dispatched
automatically by contractual agreement. Differs from mutual-aid which is typically implemented by a formal request. Automatic-aid is as the
