Regional Structures<br />
Mutual Aid Regions<br />
To facilitate mutual aid response, <strong>Cal</strong>ifornia is divided into Mutual<br />
Aid Regions—six Fire Mutual Aid Regions and seven Law<br />
Enforcement Mutual Aid Regions—for all-hazards mutual aid<br />
coordination. The mutual aid regional system is based on four<br />
organizational levels: local agencies, counties (Operational Areas),<br />
regions, and the State. The mutual aid regional system allows for<br />
geographically adjacent emergency response agencies within an<br />
Operational Area to assist each other in mutual aid response.<br />
Should the event require assistance from outside the Operational<br />
Area, the region will provide assistance to the impacted Area. If the<br />
combined resources of the region are insufficient to cope with the<br />
incident, the Regional Coordinator will contact the appropriate State<br />
Mutual Aid Coordinator at <strong>Cal</strong> EMA for assistance with resource<br />
requests.<br />
<strong>Cal</strong>SIEC Planning Areas<br />
The <strong>Cal</strong>SIEC Planning Areas are designed around radio<br />
propagation boundaries and structured for interoperability focused<br />
planning, management, policy development, and regional<br />
interoperability communications system build out. Though the<br />
<strong>Cal</strong>SIEC Planning Area boundaries generally include one or more<br />
Mutual Aid Regions, incident response continues to be managed<br />
through the mutual aid regional system.
