modification to the Agreement, based' upon comments by several
local government risk managers. Attached you will find th~
Modification prepared based upon those and other comments re-
ceived.. The attached Modification (dated October al, 1994) is
now ready for execution. Please destroy or otherwise dispose of
any previous drafts you may have received.
Therefore, please initiate the processes necessary to have your
local governments execute this Modification, and return executed
copies with attacb_ments to the Division. County Emergency
Management Agency Directors should provide copies of the Modifi-
cation to all-those municipalities they previously pmovid~d with
the Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement. In addition, DEM will be
sending copies to all those that have already executed the
Agreement. For those entities 'that have not yet executed'the

executed concurrently with the Agreement.
DEM vill forward copies with the Division's endorsement back to
