In emergency services, mutual aid is a formal agreement among emergency responders to lend assistance across jurisdictional boundaries when required; either by an emergency that exceeds local resources or a disaster. On a smaller scale the principle of mutual aid guides the creation of militia and community emergency response teams, e.g. volunteer fire fighters.
