     § 7331.  Purpose of subchapter.
        The purpose of this subchapter is to create a system of
     intrastate mutual aid between participating political
     subdivisions within this Commonwealth, whereby each
     participating political subdivision recognizes that emergencies
     transcend the boundaries of a political subdivision and that
     intergovernmental coordination is essential for the protection
     of lives and property and for the best use of available public
     and private assets. The system shall provide for mutual
     assistance among the participating political subdivisions in the
     prevention of, response to and recovery from threats to public
     health and safety that are beyond the capability of an affected
     community to respond. The system shall provide for mutual
     cooperation among the participating subdivisions in conducting
     exercises, testing or other training activities.
