• Ensure that all entities are advised of future funding opportunities and are prepared to apply for funding that will assist them in the coordinated plan of response to weather related or terrorist events.

• Identify existing mutual aid agreements and where additional mutual aid agreements are needed.

• Assist jurisdictions in the development of Emergency Management Plans.

• Provide jurisdictions in the AACOG region with technical assistance necessary to meet their Emergency Preparedness needs.
