Provide coordinating instructions and provisions for implementing Mutual Aid Agreements (MAAs)
Describes the logistical support for planned operations.
Write a minimum of 2 pages on the function and its contents. You may reference CPG101 Appendix C and other agencies documents as reference but you must write your Annex for Bobsville specifically. You will use this document in future classes and execute this plan so help yourself by being thorough.

The core purpose of the Annex is to lay the roles and responsibilities of the various agencies involved in the occurrence of a mass causality incident within Bobsville and the surrounding areas. The incident of mass casualty annex defines the policies, procedures, and elemental concepts regarding a provision of harmonized medical care response to incidents of mass casualty.
Scope
The Annex defines the policies, roles, operations concepts, capabilities, and responsibilities related to a reaction to mass casualty incidents in the Bobsville region.
Situation
Mass casualty incidents can occur unpredictably because of human or natural causal factors. The Bobsville region is susceptible to mass casualties, such as transportation difficulties, harsh weather conditions, and structural collapse.
Operation Concepts
The efficiency of medical response is based on mutual sharing of resources among healthcare providers, incident command structure, and emergency management support system. Response to mass casualty incidents involves a combination of various agencies, which employ different resources, capabilities, and facilities. The available local resources can effectively address the needs of residents following an occurrence of disaster (Femino et al., 2020). In a situation that local resources might not be sufficient to address the situation in the local region, the local incident command will seek assistance from state and federal agencies. However, such requests will have to comply with mutual aid agreements in the Emergency Operations Plan.

The various departments will have key responsibilities in addressing the underlying issue while expediting set objectives.
