Director of local organizations; mutual aid arrangements
Status: in_force

Sec. 16. (a) The director of a local organization for emergency management may develop or cause to be developed mutual aid arrangements with other public and private agencies within Indiana for reciprocal emergency management aid and assistance in case of disaster too great to be dealt with unassisted. An arrangement must be consistent with the state emergency management program and state emergency operations plan. During an emergency, a local organization for emergency management and the agency shall render assistance in accordance with the provisions of the mutual aid arrangement.

(b) The director of a local organization for emergency management and disaster:

(1) may assist in the negotiation of reciprocal mutual aid agreements between the governor and the adjoining state or the state's political subdivisions; and

(2) shall carry out arrangements or any agreement relating to the local and political subdivision.

(c) This subsection applies when the governor finds that two (2) or more adjoining counties would be better served by an interjurisdictional arrangement than by maintaining separate disaster agencies and services. The governor may, with the concurrence of the affected counties, delineate by executive order or regulation an interjurisdictional area adequate to plan for, prevent, or respond to disaster in that area, and direct steps to be taken as necessary, including the creation of an interjurisdictional relationship, a joint emergency operations plan, mutual aid, or an area organization for emergency management planning and services. A finding of the governor under this subsection must be based on one (1) or more factors related to the difficulty of maintaining an efficient and effective disaster prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery system on a unijurisdictional basis, including the following factors:

(1) Small or sparse population.

(2) Limitations on public financial resources severe enough to make maintenance of a separate disaster agency and services unreasonably burdensome.

(3) Unusual vulnerability to disaster as evidenced by a history of disaster, topographical features, drainage characteristics, disaster potential, and presence of disaster prone facilities or operations.

(4) The interrelated character of the counties in a multicounty area.

(5) Other relevant conditions or circumstances.

(d) If the governor finds that:

(1) a vulnerable area lies partly in Indiana and includes territory in another state or states; and

(2) it would be desirable to establish an interstate relationship, mutual aid, or an area organization for disaster;

the governor shall take steps to establish an interstate relationship. If action under this subsection is taken with jurisdictions that have enacted the emergency management assistance compact, any resulting agreement or agreements may be considered supplemental agreements under article 7 of the compact.

(e) If the other jurisdiction or jurisdictions with which the governor proposes to cooperate under subsection (d) have not enacted the emergency management assistance compact, the governor may negotiate special agreements with the jurisdiction or jurisdictions. An agreement, if sufficient authority for making the agreement does not otherwise exist, becomes effective only:

(1) after the agreement's text has been communicated to the general assembly; and

(2) if a house of the general assembly does not disapprove of the agreement by the later of:

(A) the date of adjournment of the next ensuing session that is competent to consider the agreement; or

(B) not more than thirty (30) days after the date of the submission of the agreement.
