The coordinator of the emergency management agency may, in collaboration with other public agencies within his immediate vicinity (those communities bounding the village and/or within a 15 mile radius), develop or cause to be developed mutual aid agreements with other political subdivisions within this state for reciprocal disaster response and recovery assistance in case a disaster is too great to be dealt with unassisted. Such mutual aid shall not, however, be effective unless and until approved by each of such political subdivisions. Such arrangements shall be consistent with the state emergency operations plan and state emergency management program, and in the event of such a disaster it shall be the duty of each emergency management agency to render assistance in accordance with the provisions of such mutual aid agreements.
