EMAC (state-to-state mutual aid agreements nationwide) is currently being
used to activate resources in various states to provide assistance for
disaster response ... but not in CA. It has been previously mentioned that
EMAC hasn't yet been joined by CA and Hawaii.
I heard from a reliable source that CA Governor Schwarzenegger is again
trying to push through legislation for CA to join EMAC. (For some reason
this didn't get passed in his prior attempt to have CA join EMAC.) This is
an excellent time for all in CA to contact your legislators at the state
level and ask them to support CA joining EMAC.
