MEMO THE CITY OF G E NOA To: Mayor Vicary and the City Council t\~ From: Alyssa Seguss, Management Assistant ~ Subject: DeKalb County ESDA Memorandum of Understanding Date: June 12, 2017 In 1976, DeKalb County created an Emergency Services and Disaster Agency (E.S.D.A.) in order to combine all emergency preparedness programs, including civil defense. The purpose of E.S.D.A. is to mitigate potential hazards, plan for, coordinate, respond to and aid in recovery from all disaster situations whether natural or man-made. In the past, the City has signed the Memorandum ofunderstanding for intergovernmental cooperation with the County E.S.D.A. program, given the many benefits of the collaboration. As the Memorandum of Understanding states, the DeKalb County E.S.D.A. has the means to assist in creation of emergency plans, provide assistance during emergency and disaster situations, and assist in requests for assistance of State or Federal Agencies. The County therefore would be a resource in emergency assistance and response, as well as an agency to seek reimbursement after an emergency or disaster via State and Federal financial assistance programs. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the signing of the DeKalb County E.S.D.A. Memorandum of Understanding.
