Scope and Content Note
The Mutual Aid for Highway Repair and Debris Clearance was organized to repair highways or streets or to remove debris in the event of an enemy attack.
An inventory was made of all equipment and material owned by the State, counties, cities, villages, and towns. Zone Coordinators were responsible for taking an inventory for their zone and furnishing copies to the Assistant Coordinators in their zone and to the Deputy Zone Coordinators.
Inventories for equipment may include anything from air compressors to welding equipment, while those for material may include anything from bituminous material to timber. The information retrieved from the inventories was distributed to the public works and highway officials in each zone for planning for use of the resources in an emergency.
Access Restrictions
There are no restrictions regarding access to or use of the material.
