This agreement establishes San Benito County as a participating County consistent with the State of California Emergency Plan, Emergency Support Function 8 Annex, California Public Health and Medical Emergency Operations Manual (EOM), and the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) by providing assistance to the extent it is reasonably available and possible without compromising each County's medical and public health responsibilities. 

It is respectfully requested that the Board of Supervisors;

1.  Approve the California Mutual Aid Region II Intra-Region Cooperative Agreement For Emergency Medical and Health Disaster Assistance agreement

2.  Authorize the Board Chair to sign 3 original copies of the agreement.
