State
If support and resources are needed beyond what the local
level can provide, the community can request assistance from
the state. The state may be able to provide supplemental
resources such as money, equipment, and personnel to close
the gap between what is needed and what is available at the
local level. The state also coordinates the plans of the
various jurisdictions so that activities do not interfere or
conflict with each other. To ensure personnel know what to
do and efforts are in agreement, the state may offer a
program that provides jurisdictions the opportunity to train
and exercise together.
