Points to Remember. The Statewide Mobilization Plan only comes into effect when the local community resources and those of its normal mutual aid system are expended. • The plan organizes apparatus and personnel in task forces or strike teams. Each has its own Task Force or Strike Team Leader. • The task forces or strike teams meet at an assembly point and travel together. They report to a designated staging area for assignment. • Task forces or strike teams cannot be used for routine cover assignments. Station coverage remains a local mutual aid system responsibility. • The Incident Commander must authorize the request for the plan to be implemented. The Incident Commander assumes overall responsibility. • Notification must be made to the State Fire Marshal’s Office when the plan is activated. • Task force or strike team apparatus must meet the FEMA Typing Standards. All Fire Departments and mutual aid control centers must issue procedures that reference this plan. • Authority for this plan is pursuant to New Hampshire RSA Title 3, Chapter 53-A. • Task Forces may be customized depending on the incident conditions but should follow NIMS best practices
