The Mutual Aid Program for Public Works is the first statewide program in the US.   The concept for the program was developed by Chum Cleverly, Public Works Director in Bow, NH.  The links on this page will take you to the agreement, two sample letters, and the inventory form that each municipality that participates must complete.  If you have questions/concerns please contact Kathryn Myers at the UNH T2 Center.
