LOCAL GOVERNANCE – WHO’S IN CHARGE?
If we are waiting until we are at the scene, we failed
If we are unwilling to manage in a unified way, we failed
Local US laws do not typically dictate who is in charge
Successful areas execute cooperative agreements
Do not set laws but do document agreements to work together
