Emergency Management ("FDEM") has the authority to coordinate assistance between local
governments during emergencies and to concentrate available resources where needed; and

to provide the process for requesting, providing, and receiving interjurisdictional mutual
assistance between participating local governments within the Florida; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the City to enter into the Agreement in order to
maximize the prompt, full, and effective use of resources of all participating local governments in
