Which code sections reflect a local ordinance's response to disasters, mutual aid, and restrictions on?

• A. 15.2 and 44-46.19
• B. 9.3 and 20.5
• C. 12.1 and 33.4
• D. 7.8 and 18.1

Answer: (A)

Disaster response, mutual aid, and the ability to impose certain restrictions are addressed in local ordinances by pairing sections that specifically grant emergency powers and outline cross-jurisdiction cooperation. One section typically provides the local authority to act during emergencies—authorizing declarations, mobilizing personnel and resources, and implementing necessary measures to protect the public. The other section codifies mutual aid arrangements with neighboring jurisdictions, ensuring coordinated support, reimbursement, and the transfer of authority when responding to a widespread incident. Together, these sections reflect how a local ordinance frames both the immediate response to disasters and the collaboration that makes that response effective. The other options would generally cover topics not directly tied to emergency management and interjurisdictional cooperation, so they don’t align with the concept of a disaster-driven, collaborative local response.
