Possible Answers:
- Increase
- Decline
- Does not impact any
- Reduce
The Correct Answer:
B. The jurisdiction receiving mutual aid can decline resources if they do not meet its needs.
Explanation:
The supporting jurisdiction is responsible for evaluating a mutual aid request during any incident. The other most crucial job of these jurisdictions in the mutual aid process is to determine if they will be able to accomplish the requirements even when there are temporary losses of the resources.
The jurisdiction will arrange or accommodate the deployment of the resources according to the mutual aid agreement. The jurisdiction has all the right to decline the resources when they cannot fulfill the needs.
