accordance the laws of the State of Arizona.

Procedures for Requesting Assistance.
A Requesting Party which needs assistance in excess of its own resources and existing
automatic mutual aid or local mutual aid due to an emergency is authorized to request
assistance from any party to this Compact. However, when making such requests,
consideration shall be given to, and requests made, based on, but not limited to, the
geographical proximity of other jurisdictions with that of the jurisdiction requesting assistance.
All requests for assistance from the State must be coordinated through the Requesting Party’s
county emergency operations center, or tribal emergency operations center (whichever is
applicable).
Requests should specify what the emergency is, what resources are needed and the
estimated period of time during which such mutual aid shall be required, if known. Please use
the Resource Request form provided in Appendix A.
6.
Providing Party’s Assessment of Availability of Resources and Ability to Render
Assistance.
Subject to the terms of this Compact, the Providing Party shall make reasonable efforts
to assist the Requesting Party. In all instances, the Providing Party shall render such mutual
aid as it is able to provide consistent with its own service needs at the time, taking into
4
247749.1 10/1/2014
consideration the Providing Party’s existing commitments within its own jurisdiction. The
Providing Party shall be the sole judge of what mutual aid it has available to furnish to the
Requesting Party pursuant to this Compact.
7.
Implementation Plan.
Each party should develop an emergency operations plan that includes a process to
provide for the effective mobilization of its resources, both public and private, including
acceptance of mutual aid to provide or receive assistance under this Compact.
8.
Contact List.
Each Party shall develop a contact list as outlined in Appendix B, which shall be
provided to the Director for distribution to all other parties to this Compact.
9.
Reimbursement Procedures between Parties.
If the Providing Party desires reimbursement for the assistance they are providing, the
Requesting Party shall reimburse the Providing Party for all costs incurred in the mutual
assistance, whether an incident has been declared an emergency or not. The Providing Party
must declare its intent to seek reimbursement as part of their response to the Requesting
Party’s request for assistance (see Appendix A: Resource Request forms). The Providing
Party and the Requesting party shall agree upon allowable costs for mutual assistance prior to
the dispatch of any mutual assistance resources. Unless otherwise negotiated by the parties
involved, the parties may reference the state allowable costs as defined in A.A.C. Title 8 (as
may be amended from time to time). If the assistance is authorized and accepted, the
Requesting Party shall reimburse the Providing Party all allowable costs of labor, equipment,
and materials that have actually been expended during the execution of the mission
assignment, after receipt of an itemized voucher and documentation is received.
If there has been a declaration of emergency from the Governor and/or President, the
Requesting Party may be eligible for reimbursement for these mutual aid costs under the state
or federal declaration of emergency. See item 10.
10.
Reimbursement Procedures from the State.
If the Governor and/or President have declared an emergency, the Requesting Party
can prepare an itemized voucher and documentation of all paid allowable costs including all
the cost of the mutual aid resources reimbursed to any Providing Parties under this Compact,
for submittal to the State for consideration for reimbursement in accordance with A.A.C. Title 8
(as may be amended from time to time). As per A.A.C. Title 8, R8-2-301, sub-parts 1, 12 & 15,
only state agencies and political subdivisions are eligible to receive reimbursement under a
Governor's Declaration. Any Tribal Nations as the Requesting Party would need to seek
reimbursement under a Presidential Declaration. Any Tribal Nations as the Providing Party
5
247749.1 10/1/2014
would seek reimbursement from the Requesting Party as outlined in Item 9.
The state is not liable for any claim arising from an emergency for which the applicant
receives funds from another source (A.A.C. Title 8, R8-2-312).
Self-deployed resources will not be reimbursed.
11.
Personnel Compensation and Insurance.
The Requesting Party and the Providing Party shall be responsible for all compensation

(including reasonable attorney's fees) (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Claims") arising
out of bodily injury of any person (including death) or property damage, but only to the extent
that such Claims which result in vicarious/derivative liability to the Indemnitee are caused by
the act, omission, negligence, misconduct, or other fault of the Indemnitor, its officers, officials,

USE OF A CONTRACTOR
In addition, each signatory shall cause its contractor(s) and subcontractors, if any, to
defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the State of Arizona, any jurisdiction or agency issuing
any permits for any work arising out of this Agreement, and their respective directors, officers,
officials, agents, and employees (hereinafter referred to as “Indemnitee”) from and against any
and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including court costs,
attorneys’ fees, and costs of claim processing, investigation and litigation) (hereinafter referred
to as “Claims”) for bodily injury or personal injury (including death), or loss or damage to
tangible or intangible property caused, or alleged to be caused, in whole or in part, by the
negligent or willful acts or omissions of signatory’s contractor or any of the directors, officers,
agents, or employees or subcontractors of such contractor. This indemnity includes any claim
or amount arising out of or recovered under the Workers’ Compensation Law or arising out of
the failure of such contractor to conform to any federal, state or local law, statute, ordinance,
rule, regulation or court decree. It is the specific intention of the parties that the Indemnitee
shall, in all instances, except for Claims arising solely from the negligent or willful acts or
