“EmComm Mutual Aid in a Digital World”, builds on lessons learned from recent disasters. “Mutual Aid” answers the question, “If my team can’t respond, who will help?” It also clarifies which local teams support the Red Cross, Salvation Army, hospitals, schools, tribal governments, critical infrastructure, served agencies, neighborhoods, and others. In addition, it addresses why the digital component (Internet) needs to be considered, and what resources are necessary (WinLink, AREDN, solar generators, etc.). Finally, it points to standardized training that can help us meet the government’s need for resource typing to facilitate mutual aid deployments.
