Activity 12.2
Take a moment to think about communities that you may know of who have considered the need for external aid to support their response activities. Can you provide any examples that you know? Once again, jot your answers down on a piece of paper before continuing.
These are examples of local area arrangements.
Can you now think of some examples of regional arrangements for the provision of external operational aid
Feedback
Some obvious examples are resources such as:
•	special foam making equipment used by the fire services - it would not be sensible or financially responsible to have the special equipment with every local brigade;
•	special equipment for managing oil pollution.
