 Hi, I'm Dennis Smithson, an assistant chief with Cal OES Law Branch. I'm an assistant chief with the Law Branch at Cal OES. My main function is manage the mutual aid process as it applies to mass fatality response. So basically in a nutshell, I assist in mass fatality response when the request overwhelms the resources of a local agency. I've been at Cal OES for eight years. It's my job to help people do what they need to succeed. That's a great thing. I mean it really is a good resource for the counties and help them achieve a high level of performance for their citizens and to address needs when those incidents overwhelm the local resources and they can't do those things. I'm Dennis Smithson, assistant chief at Cal OES Law Branch and I'm Cal OES.
