Public and Private Support Agencies
Chapter 5 tells us that a significant number of both private and public associations and agencies stand at the ready to
assist fire service leaders in preparing for disasters, mitigating disasters, and recovering from disasters. Many of these
organizations offer individual and company memberships, though membership is not always a requirement for securing
information and assistance.
