In CA the state is divided into several zones that group counties together
for Mutual Aid for law enforcement, fire, disaster.response. If the MA
resources aren't sufficient, the state is contacted to send more help. CA
also has agreements with neighboring states. And from there the response
goes federal with FEMA assistance. The same process is followed for SAR.
