Reimbursement includes the payment of expenses incurred by resource providers for specific activities.

Reimbursement processes are important for establishing and maintaining resource readiness and establishing the means to pay providers in a timely manner. Processes include mechanisms for collecting bills, validating costs against the scope of the work, replacing or repairing damaged equipment, and accessing reimbursement programs.

Reimbursement procedures are often specified in mutual aid and assistance agreements.
