Read: Settle, A. (1985). Financing disaster mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Public  Administration Review, 45(Special Issue), 101-106. (Access in the Saint Leo Cannon Memorial Library.) 
In his article, Settle (1985) addresses the state’s role in financing emergency management (p. 102).It is largely based on mutual aid agreements and interstate compacts. 
How significant do you believe it is for states to be engaged in these types of agreements in the overall scheme of emergency management? 
What types of mutual aid agreements does your state or agency have in place and with whom?
