Mutual Aid Update

by Christopher Bouchard

MHA Mutual Aid Sprin 2024 Update 

By David Lane for the Mutal Aid Committee

The Public Works Mutual Aid Program has been doing a lot of work in the background that most people will never see, as it is a tool we will use to manage requests for assistance and when communities send assistance for tracking. Developing this GIS platform has been challenging and much harder than we thought, but every time we make a change or test it, we have made changes and improvements to make sure we are successful with it when we use the program. We could not have accomplished this without the MassDOT GEODOT team, who have been great in helping us build, develop, and streamline our processes, and hosting the GIS platform for us. We are currently working on incorporating all city and town contact information into our program.

We have helped assist communities over the past year with great success because of our members and the mutual aid team. Thank you. Wedo need your help in keeping your cities or towns’ 24-hour contact information up to date. We have a spot on the membership dues form for it to be updated.

We need this in case a request goes out so that we may have direct

24-hour contact information to get help moving to those who request

or who want to send assistance as well. Please send updated contact

information to mhasecretary1893@gmail.com if it changes, or if you

have not done so yet.

It has been very exciting to see how this has grown from a conversation

to an actual program. This program will always be evolving as we find

new ways and tools to utilize as we move forward and learn more as it is

utilized.
