Chapter 5502: DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY
5502.29 Political subdivisions may develop mutual aid arrangements.


OH Rev Code § 5502.29 What's This?

Political subdivisions, in collaboration with other public and private agencies within this state, may develop mutual aid arrangements for reciprocal emergency management aid and assistance in case of any hazard too great to be dealt with unassisted. Such arrangements shall be consistent with the rules adopted by the director of public safety under section 5502.25 of the Revised Code. In time of any hazard, each political subdivision may render assistance in accordance with such mutual aid arrangements. Such mutual aid arrangements shall not in any manner relieve the chief executive of any political subdivision of the responsibility for either entering into a written agreement establishing a countywide emergency management agency under section 5502.26 of the Revised Code, entering into a written agreement establishing a regional authority for emergency management under section 5502.27 of the Revised Code, or establishing a program for emergency management under section 5502.271 of the Revised Code.
